Building ESSAY skills that will be important at Year 11 and for NCEA and beyond!
You can find some activities to help you learn your spelling words each week here on Mrs O'Malley's spelling site.
Reading - all the time!
This year is also about focusing on the skills to pass the Common Assessment Activities (CAA) for Literacy: reading and writing.
You have been building these skills all through primary school and the junior school, but you will need to concentrate on deliberately extending your reading and writing skills to achieve this co-requisite for NCEA. More info on these can be found here.
