Spelling Homework – Week Beginning 25th March
Spelling Rule: Words ending in –ant, –ance/–ancy, –ent, –ence/–ency
Why do we have this rule?
Use –ant and –ance/–ancy if there is a related word with a /æ/ or /eɪ/ sound in the right position; –ation endings are often a clue. Use –ent and –ence/–ency after soft c (/s/ sound), soft g (/dʒ/ sound) and qu, or if there is a related word with a clear /ɛ/ sound in the right position. There are many words, however, where the above guidance does not help. These words just have to be learnt
Word List:
abundance,
importance,
dominant,
brilliant,
expectancy,
violence,
innocence,
excellent,
frequent,
decency.
Please make sure you know the meanings of the words.
