The children's spelling list for this week all have suffix's on the ends of words.
'ly' 'ful' 'ment' and 'ness'
The words given in the lists do not involve any of the original root word staying as it is and simply adding the suffix on the end.
We have been talking to the children about learning their spellings, coming up with strategies to help learn the whole word, such as breaking the word down into smaller steps (syllables or sounds).
i.e. beautiful - learn it as b eau ti ful
