Teachers’ Notes Spelling and Language Practice Book 2 is the second book in a two book series. The exercises in this book are generally suited for children in Years 5 and 6, but of course they can be given to advanced younger students and as revision for older classes. Many basic spelling and language skills are addressed within the pages. Apostrophes, silent letters, abbreviations, homophones, plurals, tenses, opposites and confusing words are all included. The use of dictionaries should be encouraged as they can be a great help.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Recommended ways to use the book:

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• As a class activity – give each student their own worksheet, preferably a different one from their neighbour to encourage independent thinking. • As a homework exercise.

• Staple six sheets together to be used as an ‘extra work when finished’ activity. I would encourage rewards such as stickers or points towards some privilege, which can be given when children have completed their booklet. • Sitting one-on-one with a tutor or helper.

Each activity sheet comes with extra things to do. Perhaps students could complete these extras in their spelling or language books. Some of these extras involve a sense of the ridiculous, which is always a bit of fun while encouraging creative thought and a love of learning.

Apostrophes

Sheet 6

Apostrophes (’) can be used to show that letters are missing. For example: the apostrophe in the word don’t indicates that the letter o is missing from the word not. Don't is short for do not. The apostrophe is used to shorten the word. This shortened word is called a contraction. 33 Complete the table. A p

Sometimes apostrophes are used to show possession. When one person owns something the apostrophe comes before the s ('s). Example: The girl's books. When more than one person owns something the apostrophe comes after the s (s'). Example: Those girls' books. When a word is plural without an s at the end, the apostrophe comes before the s. Example: children's.

Proverb

Meaning

What you do is more important than what you say.

If you take too long to make up your mind, you may miss out.

If you fix something early before the problem gets too big, you will save yourself a lot of work.

Many big things start from something small. Things often look better somewhere else. But if you go there, it’s often not as good as you thought it was. People who like the same things or think alike will spend time with each other. The way something or someone looks on the outside does not always accurately reflect what is on the inside. Save money wherever you can even on little things and your savings will mount up. If you are really determined to do something, you will find a way to do it. If you are not very good at something you will find other people or things to blame for your failings. By trying to get out of a bad situation, sometimes you land in an even worse one.

Sheets 29 and 30 - Match the Proverbs

If something isn’t in front of you, you may forget about it.

Meanings of the proverbs that are left

Beauty is only skin deep – it doesn’t matter what a person looks like, it’s their personality that is important. It’s the early bird that catches the worm – if you’re early you are likely to get what you want and not miss out. A miss is as good as a mile – it doesn’t matter if you miss something by a little bit or a lot, you missed it. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket – don’t count on just one thing working out. Have a Plan B in case Plan A doesn’t happen the way you want it to. Don’t count your chickens until they’ve hatched – things may not work out the way you planned, so wait until you see what the outcome is before you take the next step. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure – one person may throw something away as they have no use for it but it may be just what another person requires.
