Practise and apply spelling words ending in "-sure" and "-ture"
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can use a range of strategies to practise spelling words ending in -sure and -ture.
Key learning points
- The pronunciation of a word helps to identify if it is spelt with -sure or -ture.
- The -ture ending to a word can be confused with a root word ending in '(t)ch+er', such as 'teacher' or 'richer'.
- 'Colour blocking' is a useful practice strategy.
- How to spell the curriculum word: grammar.
Keywords
Suffix - a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word to change its meaning
Noun - a naming word for a person, place or thing
Pronunciation - the way in which a word is spoken
Common misconception
All words with a suffix will have a recognisable root word.
Show that not all words with suffixes or common word endings will necessarily have a root word that we can recognise.
Teacher tip
Practise saying the focus words in sentences to ensure children understand their meaning and can use them correctly, before spelling.
