For the next 2 days we will be learning the alternative spelling patterns for /j/ sound when it is spelt with a soft g.

Today we will remind ourselves of /j/ as in jam 

but will explore soft g when it is spelt:

/ge/ as in gem;  /gi/ as in giraffe or magic;  /gy/ as in gymnastics 

Watch the videos below to help you with soft g spellings

Complete the alternative spelling pattern sheet for /j/ with the soft g spellings (ge/gi/gy)

Ask an adult to read the instructions to you (see below and the sheet).

1) underline all the different spellings for /j/ sound in the word lists.

Practise reading all the words in the lists (sound out and blend) to yourself first. Then read them to an adult - tick the ones you read correctly.

2) Underline all the different spellings for /j/ sound in the passage (text) . Then read the text. 

3) In the last box, write a sentence using a word/words from the lists and draw a picture to go with it (illustrate it). 

Challenge: 

Choose a word from each list and write a sentence for each one.

Remember to use joined/best handwriting, a capital letter at the beginning of your sentence, word spaces and a full stop at the end of your sentence.

Unit 14 - Awongalema - recycled/recreated story

This unit follows on from the last unit of work you did based on the story of Awongalema. The focus in this unit is on developing your descriptive writing skills.
