Phonics and the Common Words

Teac he r

Teaching and learning spelling are progressive processes, which are structured in this scheme by marrying phonics with ‘common words’. Students learn best when spelling is taught systematically and in a structured manner over time. Spelling needs explicit instruction for the majority of students, particularly for those who fail to ‘catch it’ because of inherent difficulties. The NLS framework for teaching (Beard 1998) recommended that successful management of the teaching of spelling should include structured teaching, which involves the following, all of which are an integral part in the Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD series:

Matching Teaching Methods to Learning Styles

w ww

Success with this series is achieved through the reinforcement activities provided in the Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD series. These workbooks cover the strategies in a fun, creative way, ensuring that both the child and the teacher enjoy the learning process. The teachers guides provide the metacognitive strategies. These are clearly outlined using flashcards, assessment sheets, extra activities, guidelines for use with children with special needs, extension activities for more able students, dictation, word lists and answers.

Each workbook contains 18 lists of phonic-based, commonly used words to develop a base vocabulary for primary school students. These help to develop independent spellers through a variety of activities, including: • • • • •

Supplementary resources – extra ideas to support a spelling program, covering a range of ability levels.

m . u

This phonic-based, multisensory spelling series introduces strategies that feature Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write and Check. The series promotes independent learning of spelling in context and features a proven metacognitive approach. This metacognitive approach encompasses logical and systematic thinking, combined with the skills of visualisation, emotion and creativity. By using all aspects of thinking, students not only learn how to spell but also learn how to retain and use these words in context.

word building memory tests word study word puzzles discovering patterns in words.

Assessment – photocopiable worksheets for recording of results by teachers/students.

Teacher Information Each workbook contains 18 spelling units. Each unit is made up of four pages, with each unit containing: • a list of 22 words to be learned, focusing on one or more phonic word patterns and two commonly used words • word building and word study activities • revision words from the previous workbook.

Each word list table has a series of columns. After learning each word, students should hide their word with their hand and write it in the first ‘Practise’ column. This should be repeated after a few days, but written into the second ‘Practise’ column. To help evaluate his/her progress, if the student spells the word correctly in the test, a tick should be placed in the ‘T’ column. A tick should be placed in the ‘D’ column if the word is spelt correctly in the dictation. Problem words can be recorded in the ‘Difficult Words I Have Found’ table on page 74, for revision.

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

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

The first page of each unit contains the list words. Before the students see the list, it is recommended that the words are pre-tested. This can be used as a benchmark for how well the students learn the list or to determine which words they need to focus on throughout the unit.

Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write, Check – This represents the basic method recommended for word learning. Students should follow this multisensory process when learning each word. It is a proven method of retaining a word in the memory and should be a procedure that is followed consistently, to assist with the learning of further words.

w ww

. te

Say each letter aloud: either as its letter name or its sound.

m . u

Look at the word. Look for words within words. Look at the shape of the word.

o c . che e r o t r s super

Trace each letter as the sound is said. This will reinforce the kinaesthetic movement and sound pattern and become a physical and auditory memory.

Cover the word. (A time factor can be built into this part. Test after one minute, 10 minutes, one hour, the next day etc.)

Write the spelling word.

Check the word with the original.

Spelling Timetable Teachers can use the activities in Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD to suit the needs of their class and the amount of time available for spelling. A 10-day spelling program for each list is suggested as one way of using this workbook. It is based on 25 minutes being set aside each day, which could be a combination of class work and homework. Teachers can add to or delete from this timetable, according to their needs. This timetable features a metacognitive approach, which is explained in detail on the following pages. Daily partner testing is a key feature of the timetable, allowing students to practise three to five list words at a time. A worksheet for recording partner test results is provided on page 15.

Metacognitive Approach Aim: To encourage students to become successful independent spellers and thinkers. Introductory Stage • Each category of questioning (clarifying, literal, inferential, personal, visualising, predictive, summarising and reflective) should be explained to the students. It is important that they understand what kind of question they are asking. • Not all cards will be relevant to every situation. On occasion, they will be. • Some of the questions may appear to be the same but are repeated under different categories. This is because the context is different and this should be explained to the students.

Preparation Stage

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

Modelling Stage

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• The teacher chooses a suitable spelling word. A word that encompasses all the categories of questions is better. However, it should be stressed that not all categories are relevant to every word. For example: ‘yesterday’. • The cards are displayed for all students to see. Teachers might prefer to enlarge the cards to A3 when photocopying or laminate them. (See pages 6–13.)

• The teacher models a word, for example: ‘yesterday’. The teacher demonstrates the thinking process involved by applying the questions suggested in the relevant categories and ‘talking’ through his or her answers. • Allowing students to interact with the teacher using this process can be very productive. 6

Clarifying Questions

Explanation of Question Types Clarifying questions are questions that make words, phrases or concepts clear and understandable.

the day before today

Does it have an easily recognisable root?

day

Can the word be broken into smaller sounds?

Literal questions are questions that have a straightforward answer found in the text.

Inferential questions are questions that ask a student to deduce answers from the text. For example: Can I think of some other way to help remember how to spell this word?

Break the word into three little words: yes, ter, day.

The ‘Reflective Questions’ card should be used as a challenge for every student. It is designed to extend the more successful speller. It also offers the opportunity for individuals to recognise their own areas of strength and weakness. This card should be used at the end of the lesson or after the dictation for students to reflect on their success and to set new goals for themselves. The following pages contain a set of cards for encouraging this way of thinking.

Word Sums: s + end = send; bl + end = blend

• Find small words in list words. • Write the list words in alphabetical order or reverse alphabetical order. • Write list words with eyes closed or from memory.

For example: strawberry – straw, berry, raw, be

• Sort words according to different criteria.

For example: sort by initial/final letter(s); number of letters; number of syllables; number of vowels; number of consonants; parts of speech; if rhyming/non-rhyming or by student’s own choice

w ww

. te

m . u

• Find antonyms, synonyms or homophones for the list words.

For example: hot/cold close/shut bare/bear

• Make word builders by adding ‘s’, ‘ed’, ‘ing’, ‘er’, ‘est’ etc.

For example: walk – walks, walked, walking

• Write list words in sentences or as a question.

For example: Did you hear the announcement to board the plane?

• Write definitions for list words.

These can be either looked up in a dictionary, or written in the student’s own words and then checked.

Spelling: Workbook teachers guide—R.I.C. Publications®—www.ricpublications.com.au

Additional Activities Individual Activities Word Study – Useful for developing familiarity with the list words. Strategy Examples • Write the base words for the list words.

For example: the base word for ‘sensible’ is ‘sense’.

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

• Hidden words – using the letters in a word to make as many new words as possible.

For example: neighbours – house, neigh, nigh, bin, rough, bore.

• Rank words in level of difficulty in learning to spell.

For example:

• Write a paragraph using a set number of list words.

For example: use ‘grapes’, ‘picnic’ and ‘shade’ in a paragraph; When we got to the park, we sat in the shade. We spread out a blanket and ate our picnic. The grapes were my favourite food.

Teac he r

For example: ‘audience’ comes from a Latin word ‘audire’, which means ‘to hear’.

ew i ev Pr

• Study and find word origins for list words.

• Write anagrams of list words or search for any others.

For example: ‘nap’ is an anagram of ‘pan’; ‘dance’ is an anagram of ‘caned’.

. te

• Write the list words as plurals.

m . u

For example: bear/bear rock/rock

w ww

• Find words which have homographs (words which look the same, but have different meanings).

Discuss exceptions to the rule of simply adding ‘s’; for example: sheep, children.

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Discuss adding ‘ed’ and ‘ing’ and how this changes the tense of words.

For example: ‘jumped’ and ‘jumping’ – ‘jumped’ is past tense, ‘jumping’ is present tense

• Discover common prefixes and suffixes for words.

For example: un-, dis-, -ly, -ment

• Missing vowels – write list words with missing vowels. Students guess which words they are.

For example: m_ss_ng = missing

• Students write their words as a rebus.

For example,

Additional Activities Informal Activities Useful for reinforcement of the list words in a less formal approach. Strategy Examples • Make theme booklets and illustrate.

Books could be about prefixes, colours, transport, the sea etc.

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

• Clap the number of syllables in words.

• Outline words.

Partner activities – Develops cooperation and increases knowledge of list words.

o c . che e r o t r s super

Strategy Examples • Make ‘What am I?’ clues.

For example:

I am a reptile. I have no legs. I shed my skin. My bite can be poisonous. What am I? A snake

• Make memory helpers for list words.

For example: a piece of pie

• Invent mnemonics.

For example: said = Sally Anne is dancing; because = big elephants can always upset small elephants.

Spelling: Workbook teachers guide—R.I.C. Publications®—www.ricpublications.com.au

Additional Activities Partner and Group Activities Partner activities – Develops cooperation and increases knowledge of list words. Strategy Examples • Students make their own read-and-illustrate activities to swap with a partner.

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

• Jumble sentences using list words and swap with a partner.

For example: ‘The cat sat on the mat’ becomes ‘Eht tca tas no eht tma’. Students who want a challenge could also jumble the order of the words around!

• Make word searches or crossword puzzles on grid paper and swap with a partner.

This can be simply done by making a grid and inserting the list of spelling words horizontally and vertically. Any gaps are filled with random letters in a word search or coloured black in a crossword.

Teac he r

For example: ‘school’ becomes ‘oslhco’. As an extra challenge, children can create jumbled words that are able to be pronounced.

ew i ev Pr

• Jumble words and swap with a partner.

For example: ‘Is a frog a reptile?’ ‘Can we see clouds in the sky?’

• Word dominoes

Word dominoes can be made by breaking list words in half (ones that have a common ending or beginning).

. te

For example:

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Trace list words on a partner’s back—partner guesses which spelling word is traced.

• Cut pairs of list words in half and rejoin them. Students then see if their partner can guess the words.

For example: picket blannic = picnic blanket

• Guess the word: Give a partner the first letter of a word chosen from the spelling list. The partner then has to guess the word before the whole word is revealed, one letter at a time.

For example, the beginning of a game using the word ‘plane’ would look like this:

Spelling: Workbook teachers guide—R.I.C. Publications®—www.ricpublications.com.au

Additional Activities Partner and Group Activities Shared Group Activities – Encourages the exchange of personal list words, therefore broadening the students’ word base. Strategy Examples • Make a word bank following the same sound pattern or rule as particular list words. Work as individuals or partners, in small groups or as a whole class.

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

• Put list words into sentences—work individually or as a whole class.

For example: each word could be written on a piece of card. Students can take one card each and put themselves in a line so the order of words makes sense. Cards with common words like ‘a’, ‘and’ and ‘the’ will need to be made, too.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

For example: A list of words that end in ‘ight’: tight, right, flight, might, sight; words that end with a silent ‘e’: made, same, shake.

Partner and Group Activities Class or Group Games – Useful for reinforcement of the list words in a less formal approach. Strategy Examples

For example: a ‘Difficult Word of the Day’ competition, during which the class try to spell a challenging word.

• ‘Hunter’

Use individual books, charts, shared stories, poems etc. to find a particular spelling pattern or rule being treated.

w ww

m . u

• Simple class spelling competitions.

• Play concentration, fish, word bingo or tic-tac-toe.

. te

In tic-tac-toe, each player uses a list of words with a common sound as their ‘noughts and crosses’. For example, in the game below, Player One used a bank of ‘sh-’ words; Player Two used a bank of ‘-all’ words.

o c . che e r o t r s super call

wall

ball

shock

• Play hangman or a similar game called ‘Shannon’s Game’.

In ‘Shannon’s Game’, students need to guess the letters in the correct order in which they occur in each word.

Spelling: Workbook teachers guide—R.I.C. Publications®—www.ricpublications.com.au

Additional Activities Partner and Group Activities Class or Group Games – Useful for reinforcement of the list words in a less formal approach. Strategy Examples • ‘Guess My Word’

Students ask questions that require a yes/no response to guess the mystery spelling word.

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

• Magazine hunt for list words.

‘Celebrity Head Words’

The student uses a headband to hold a card with a list word written on it to his/her head. He/She asks questions of the class, which can only be answered as yes or no; for example, ‘Does the word end in ‘t’?’

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• Play ‘Celebrity Head Words’, picture clue words or charades.

Choose a selection of words to focus on for a week. Students can also search for these in newspapers or any other reading material in the classroom. Students can circle or underline words they find. At the end of the week, students can count their score and share the sentences they found.

w ww

m . u

• Play a game similar to ‘Memory’ using the small words within compound words written on cards.

• Students write quiz questions for list words, and give them to a friend to solve. A ‘quiz night’ could also be held using multiple lists.

For example: What can burn us, but also gives us warmth? (fire)

• Students write clues to match their list words. Hold a small competition each day to see who can solve the puzzle first.

For example: Add ‘basket’ to ‘ball’ = basketball. Take ‘er’ from ‘mother’ = moth.

Children with Special Needs The spelling activities in Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD can be modified or added to for children with special needs. Some additional suggestions are included below for students with learning difficulties. The worksheet on page 26 is designed for students who fall into this category. Students in need of extension will benefit from many of the suggestions included in the additional activities pages of this book. Page 27 also contains an opportunity for spelling extension.

Strategies For Students with Learning Difficulties Strategy Examples

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

For example, using ‘Have a go’ pads or spelling journals for students to try out their spelling when writing stories.

• Encourage as much reading as possible.

Provide different sources of print around the classroom for students to find correct spelling. For example: opposites, colours, favourite sayings, days of the week.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• Encourage students to ‘have a go’ and take risks with approximate spelling.

• Break each spelling list into shorter lists based on similar spelling patterns.

For example these list words could be broken up as follows: brake, shake, snake; base, case, chase; plate, mate, hate.

• Longer words can be ‘chunked’ (broken into chunks) to assist spelling, rather than conventional syllables.

For example, cent-i-pede, el-ec-tric, in-vent-ing. Students should be encouraged to choose how to chunk the words themselves, so as to suit each child’s preferred learning style.

• Emphasise spelling rules.

For example: magic ‘e’; ‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’

• Encourage students to look at difficult words, focus on the problem part, close their eyes and then write it.

For example: the problem part of ‘night’ might be ‘igh’.

w ww

. te

• Write list words on graph paper, cut out the letters, and then build the word from the cut-out letters.

m . u

o c . che e r o t r s super c

• Write the list words, leaving out some letters. Complete the words the next day.

For example: c

• Find words that rhyme with the list words. Underline them if they are spelt the same.

For example: goat – note, boat, wrote, float

• Prepare a cloze passage, deleting list words. Students select the correct word to go in the correct space.

For example: ‘dinosaurs’ and ‘plants’ might fit into: Many ate .

• Use sentence frames to develop a spelling vocabulary of list words.

For example: We took plates to the picnic. We took sandwiches to the picnic.

= chimney

Spelling: Workbook teachers guide—R.I.C. Publications®—www.ricpublications.com.au

Children with Special Needs Strategies For Students With Learning Difficulties Strategy Examples • Use games like word bingo and word quizzes.

Word Bingo Students copy words onto bingo cards, checking their spelling, then cover the words with counters if the word is called. Word Quizzes

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

Using a word list, children write the correct word. For example, write the word ending in ‘ade’; write the word with ‘ire’ in the middle.

• Make alphabet books to use as personal dictionaries.

Students write any difficult words they have found under each letter.

• Play snap with compound word parts, prefixes and suffixes.

For example: ‘foot’ matches with ‘ball’; ‘tele’ matches with ‘phone’; ‘govern’ matches with ‘ment’.

Teac he r

For example: ‘ine’ could be added to ‘v’, ‘tw’, ‘f’, ‘m’, ‘n’.

ew i ev Pr

• Make new words by writing letters in front of a sound.

• Decorate or illustrate list words.

Students can draw pictures and ask other students to guess which word they have drawn; or simply make words into patterns.

. te

• Write list words using string or pipe-cleaners.

s n a k e a c h

m . u

w ww

• Use list words to make spelling ladders, with each word starting with the letter which ends the word before.

o c . che e lr o t r s ette super

Students can make each letter, or just the word shape.

• Use magnetic letters to form words from memory on a board.

• Write list words in sand or salt.

• Use list words to build other words.

Students could also trace words on a desk or sandpaper. Discussing whether letter shapes are ‘tall’ or ‘small’ could follow. For example, using the word ‘are’:

b • Make simple designs using the list words written end to end.

, c

n’t

Use shapes like circles, triangles and spirals.

1. He was on the donor list for a heart transplant and today he received a telephone call to say they had a heart, so a transfer was arranged to the hospital for his surgery. 2. During the war, my granddad needed a reference from the automobile company he worked for. They had to transmit a telegraph in order that he could fulfil his dream. He wanted to drive army tanks, to have the autonomy to make decisions and to be in charge of the transit of the soldiers and the transport of the automatic weapons. 3. The report said he died from the poisonous snakebite as there was no antidote to cure him. No antibiotic nor antiseptic had worked, so the venom had caused the infection which killed him. 4. Reading the teletext service on the television, we found out that Mystic Michael would be signing his autograph on his new autobiography. He claims he has the gift of telepathy and can read minds, but his hobby is stargazing through a giant telescope. 5. The machinery in the biscuit factory works on automation but one day there was a mechanical fault and it all went anticlockwise, so the wrappers ended up inside the biscuits.

1. Being taught every day for two months, and having three parts to play, did exhaust my daughter. I had lots of laundry to wash each night, but we had to applaud the effort and hard work associated with the success of the play. 2. I approached with caution as the two naughty ghosts fought with each other. To try and stop them, I shouted loudly with a voice of authority but suddenly I woke up. So don’t read ‘The haunted castle’ by the author Jill Duffy before falling asleep, and just count sheep from nought to 50 instead. 3. The rocket launch had taken five years of preparation so it was a cause of concern when, with only one week to go, the astronaut caught the flu. 4. I had accidentally broken my brother’s toy dinosaur. Mum thought that I ought to buy him another, so on Saturday I sought a similar one from a toy shop, gave it to him, and he was happy.

1. There was a series of accidents in our house this week. It started with Mum, who burnt her ear while using the curling tongs. Dad cut through the telephone cable while cutting the hedge with garden shears, Tom twisted his ankle when he was doing athletics, Bob sat down on top of his spectacles, I cut my hand with scissors while opening a parcel, and Sandy had to get tweezers to extract a splinter from her hand. 2. I was not surprised that we hadn’t caught any fish, so we just went for a swim in the river. As I was wearing goggles I could see plenty of trout and salmon, and lots of different species of frogs. Next time, we will carry the right bait to catch them and a set of scales to weigh our catch. 3. At 5 am there was a loud howling noise and, looking through the binoculars, I could see a deer or a moose in a field with its leg caught in the fence. I quickly pulled on a pair of trousers over my pyjamas and ran out with the pliers so I could cut the wire and set it free. 4. The cricket team was about to bat for their second innings when the batsman had to stop. He had lost concentration due to the loud noise of the low-flying aircraft overhead.

I scan the people who are there Then decide to sit in an empty chair. And all the time I want to delete any awful people I have to meet. It’s very hard to be sweet and polite when you really want them out of sight. I often feign an illness or choke just to get away from boring folk. And once I just stood still and froze and moved only once to scratch my nose. I’d like to be an umpire or referee and send them off as I only want me. 3. Due to his injury, he had to demote Tom, whose job now was to decode the Morse code signals into accurate words. This was so his major could draw up a schedule of events for the soldiers to follow.

1. My young brother often goes for a snooze on the couch while watching his favourite cartoon film with Ms Mushroom with the big white hat, the soft and creamy Mr Mousse, Mr Corkscrew with his arms of twisted wire, and Mr Screwdriver with the flat head. 2. Things to do before you are sixty: • Go on a cruise around the Med • Belong to a group but don’t be led • Find a suitable partner when you wed • Eat a tablespoon of honey before going to bed • If you see anything gruesome, just turn your head. 3. As I had a discount coupon for the new shop, I withdrew a lot of money so I could buy new clothes for my safari trip to South Africa. 4. After a youth had suffered a knife wound in a gang fight, there was a curfew. No young person could be outdoors after 10 pm. However, they had to recruit volunteers who could enforce the rule. 5. It was so wet during the monsoon that we went in pursuit of a restaurant where we could have a big bowl of chop suey and find shelter from the rain.

1. We have an exciting seasonal ceremony, at our house every Christmas. Once we have returned from the pantomime we all sit at leisure around the fireplace. We eat roasted chestnuts and drink hot cranberry juice. Then Dad switches on the lights on the artificial tree and we hang up every bauble we can find and wrap up the presents using red ribbon. 2. My family love to make it a celebration and hand out to everyone an invitation, but I’ve always hated that particular day when I had to appear in the family play. I’ve been a wise man, a shepherd and a king, and once they had a bad idea to make me sing. Without any fuss, I smile and act merry while wishing I was back home in Derry. 3. We were watching the travel program on television when we decided to book our holiday to Canada. The snow is perfect for skiing and I can take my snowboard. Beside the hotel there is an ice rink for skating and small hills for going down on a sledge.

1. Our boss uses a whiteboard to teach with and she often writes up new guidelines and goals for us to follow. Afterwards she encourages us to have a healthy lifestyle so we go outside to the skateboard park at the back of the office. 2. It was worthwhile buying the best computer and keyboard, as we can now typeset a choice of scripts and install the latest spreadsheet to help me with my maths degree. We rely on the internet to gather worldwide knowledge and to help us install any new program when needed. 3. In my nightmare, I was blind and bald, and when I woke up I was covered with goosebumps. But as I could see in the mirror, I therefore knew that I hadn’t lost my eyesight and my hairstyle was still as cool as ever. 4. I had to wait two hours to see a dentist so, as I couldn’t find the correct wavelength on the radio, I read the newspaper which I had just bought in the supermarket. Soon I forgot about my toothache as I was engrossed in the story about the author who had the copyright to a book which had just been published by another author so he was suing him for thousands of dollars!

Then his fingers got injured in a crevice so he had to descend and a doctor gave him medicine to relieve the pain. 2. After ten years of service in the navy, my brother came home with a new dog for the family. Although the vet did examine it and all the tests were negative, it still had to go into quarantine for three months. You can imagine our disappointment at having to wait. 3. As our car’s engine had blown up, my dad brought home a car magazine. However, all the attractive ones I picked turned out to be the most expensive—I must have good taste! 4. An explosive bomb was found between the parallel lines of the railway tracks and the detective announced that there had been a definite attempt to blow up the royal train. 5.

Every week they publish a must-have issue And free today is a big pink tissue. The lives of the famous can be viewed And all the people that they’ve sued. You can read a film critic’s review, Which meat to put on a barbecue Or filling a skewer without using glue. So order it online and avoid the queue. Snacks will be made for the new fondue ... and you can even read it, too. 3. The trip to the holiday cottage was a six-hour drive so we had to stop to refuel and then continue our drive in the dark for about eighty kilometres. On arrival, we were horrified to find how damp and cold it was inside the cottage. There was mildew covering the bathroom and no fewer than 16 spiders were living there. Mum wanted to phone the mountain rescue team and Dad wanted to persue the owner and arrange a duel using machine guns! We went to a hotel instead.

1. I had to wrestle an alligator who wanted to be fed. I sailed in a yacht around a sea that was red. I learned to knead dough to make some bread. I climbed the red column to see if it was lead. I dived off a wharf and split open my head. I wrote letters to folk who thought I was dead. Now there is a prison guard to whom I am wed. I’ve ended up a wretch who can’t get out of bed. 2. The mountain soared above us, but our guide kept the rhythm going and there was no stopping or leaning against any boulder, even though my tongue was so dry and my shoulder ached from carrying my backpack. 3. I asked my brother what the problem was. That his thumb was stuck in the tap was his answer. I had to kneel over the bath and pull his hand. But there was no luck, so I had to accept that it was an emergency. I called a plumber who took the tap off the bath, and we all went down to the hospital—thumb still in tap! 4. I was in debt when I was a student so I worked in a bakery. I had to extract the yolk from the egg whites and now I hate eggs and boring jobs!

We were hopeful we could instil in them the advantages of the new farming methods. 2. After only two weeks, they were already skilful enough to start planting. They understood how useful it would be, so they were all very thankful. 3. It was a delightful ballet and the dancers were so graceful, it looked as if they were almost floating on air. 4.

RULES:

• To make the plural of words ending with a ‘y’ after a consonant, change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’. • When adding ‘ly’ to most words ending with ‘le’, change the ‘e’ to ‘y’. • When adding a suffix beginning with a vowel to most words ending with ‘e’, the ‘e’ is dropped before adding the suffix. (The ‘e’ is retained in ‘noticeable’ etc. to keep the soft ‘c’ sound.) • The ‘y’ at the end of base words changes to ‘i’ when a suffix is added. (The ‘y’ is retained in horrifying to avoid ‘ii’ being added.) • Double the consonant to keep the preceding vowel sound short.

1. It is remarkable how my noticeable portrait dominates the hall, Egocentrically enjoyable as I stand three metres tall. Visible and striking where I’ve hung it on the wall, Available for all who happen to call. A valuable possession, so it’s nailed well to prevent a fall. 2.

1. As the waiter took my order for tomato soup, there was a loud scream from the kitchen. It turned out that the two chefs had began to argue and chase each other, but one had slipped and fallen on spilt grease and had broken his ankle. As the echo of the sirens from the ambulance resounded through the valley, we left feeling hungry. 2. The barbecue was a fiasco as the ratio of people to burgers was three to one. There was not enough food apart from a baked potato, so we just went for a bounce on the trampoline and had a singalong on the patio. 3. The purchase of the boat was so cheap, I did a big bounce followed by a leap. I dived through the surface where the sea is deep, But hit a big rock and landed in a heap.

Equatorial weather can make your stress double. Don’t sweat, stay home and save yourself trouble. When the thermometer reaches an unbearable heat, There are a thousand reasons to stay in your seat. There are mosquitoes even on the plane. And the stifling humidity will drive you insane. 2. We had to spend two nights sweltering in the airport until the tsunami receded. It was oppressive because the sultry air had caused a heatwave and the temperature reached 40 degrees centigrade.
