Phase 6
In Phase 6, the focus is on learning spelling rules for word endings or suffixes. They learn how words change when you add certain letters. There are 12 different suffixes taught:
-s |
-es |
-ing |
-ed |
-er |
-est |
-y |
-en |
-ful |
-ly |
-ment |
-ness |
The children are also expected to be able to read and write the ‘next 200 common words’.
