Overview:

This is a three-session spelling seed for the book Cinnamon by Neil Gaiman.  Below is the coverage from Appendix 1 of the National Curriculum 2014.

Spelling Seeds have been designed to complement Writing Roots by providing weekly, contextualised sequences of sessions for the teaching of spelling that include open-ended investigations and opportunities to practise and apply within meaningful and purposeful contexts, linked (where relevant) to other areas of the curriculum and a suggestion of how to extend the investigation into home learning.

There is a Spelling Seed session for every week of the associated Writing Root.

Coverage:

Word List Words

naughty, difficult, regular, sentence, strange, pressure, question, special, breathe, ordinary

Spelling Rules and Patterns

The ending sounding like /ʒə/ is always spelt -sure. The ending sounding like /tʃə/ is often spelt -ture, but check that the word is not a root word ending in (t)ch with an er ending

Words spelt with the /k/ sounds spelt ch (Greek in origin)
