SPELLING

Spelling is putting the letters together accurately to make words. Correct spelling is important to make sure that your audience can understand what you are trying to say.

You must remember to move yourself up the spelling wall. You only need to get 6 lists right for each colour. You can do as many lists each week as you like.

Grammar

Grammar is making sure you are using the English language correctly. When you check your work for Grammar mistakes, make sure the sentence makes sense, that there are no words missing and that words are used correctly.

Sentence Types

Punctuation

Punctuation is using the symbols associated with writing accurately. A comma is used to separate ideas that are still connected. A full stop is used to show the end of a sentence. Some other types of common punctuation are speech marks, apostrophes, question marks, exclamation marks, brackets, colons, and a lot more!
