FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS
Write your words in the fanciest
script you can. Make sure your writing
is neat and we can read it.
Can you find a word which rhymes with
your spelling word? Write your spelling
word and the rhyming word beside it!
Write your words forwards then
backwards then forwards again. Try
using a different colour for each time
you write the word.
Work with a partner. Your partner
asks you to spell one of your words. If
the word is spelt correctly, the
appropriate mark is placed on a
noughts and crosses grid. If wrong, no
mark is written but the mistake is
explained and the correct spelling
shown. Take turns to play the game.

make the base of your pyramid!
