In year 5 we are currently looking at suffixes. Our spelling rule of the week is adding the suffix ‘ious.’

Tip- in words with the suffix ‘ious’ sometimes the ‘i’ is  silent and can sound like ‘us.’

Below is a list of spellings that we have been looking at:

• precious
• malicious
• ambitious
• cautious
• fictitious
• obvious
• nutritious
• previous
• serious
• various
• anxious
• delicious
• envious
• suspicious
• vicious

Strategies to help learn your spellings

• design your own flash cards with the spellings written on them .
• write, look, cover, say strategy .
• Memory game with a friend – Create a double set of word cards and  spread out the cards face down and then take turns flipping two cards at a time to find a pair.
• create a word search with the spellings.
