Year 1 Spelling Homework - wc 24th March

Spelling Rule: Adding -er and -est to adjectives

Why do we have this rule? for comparing objects

Word list:

 

grander

grandest

fresher

freshest

quicker

quickest

taller

tallest

slower

slowest

 

 

Please encourage your child to orally compose a sentence with their spellings and remember it to recall. This is something they are finding tricky in English sessions at the moment. They can write it down if appropriate but this is not essential.
