Objective 9 | To recognise and spell the suffixes ship, hood,ness, ment |
Objective 14 | The ways in which nouns and adjectives. e.g. fix, simple, solid, drama, dead can be made into verbs by use of the suffixes ate, ify, etc.; investigate spelling patterns and generate rules to govern the patterns |
Term 2 | |
Objective 5 | To investigate what happens to words ending in f when suffixes are added |
Objective 7 | To recognise and spell the prefixes: al, etc. |
Term 3 | |
Objective 5 | To explore the occurrence of certain letters within words, e.g. v and k; deduce some of the conventions for using them at the beginnings, middles and endings of words |
Objective 5 | To explore the occurrence of certain letter strings, e.g. wa (e.g. swat, water), wo (e.g. worship, won) and ss (e.g. goodness, hiss, missile) within words; deduce some of the conventions for using them at the beginnings, middles and endings of words |

Objective 7 | Collect/classify words with common roots, e.g. advent, invent, prevent, press, pressure, depress, phone, telephone, microphone; investigate origins and meanings |
Objective 8 | To practise extending and compounding words through adding parts, e.g. ful, ly, ive, tion, ic,ist; revise and investigate links between meaning and spelling |
Objective 9 | To recognise and spell the suffixes: ible, able, ive, tion, sion |
Objective 11 | To investigate compound words and recognise that they can aid spelling even where pronunciation obscures it, e.g. handbag, cupboard |
Objective 12 | To understand how diminutives are formed, e.g. suffixes: ette; prefixes: mini; adjectives, e.g. little; nouns, e.g. sapling; and nicknames, e.g. Jonesy |
Term 1 | Objective |
Objective 4 | To examine the properties of words ending in vowels other than the letter e |
Objective 5 | To investigate, collect and classify spelling patterns in pluralisation, construct rules for regular spellings, e.g. add s to most words; add es to most words ending in s, sh, ch; when y is preceded by a consonant, change to ies; when y is preceded by a vowel, add s |
Objective 5 | To investigate, collect and classify spelling patterns in pluralisation, e.g. change f to ves |
Objective 6 | To collect and investigate the meanings and spellings of words using the following prefixes: auto, bi, trans, tele, circum |
Term 2 | |
Objective 4 | To explore spelling patterns of consonants and formulate rules:- ll in full becomes l when used as a suffix
- words ending with a single consonant preceded by a short vowel double the consonant before adding ing
- c is usually soft when followed by i, e.g. circus, accident
|
Objective 5 | To investigate words that have common letter strings but different pronunciations, e.g. rough, cough, bough; boot, foot |
Objective 6 | To distinguish between homophones, i.e. words with common pronunciations but different spellings, e.g. eight, ate; grate, great; rain, rein, reign |

Term 3 | |
Objective 4 | To spell unstressed vowels in polysyllabic words, e.g. company, portable, poisonous, interest, description, carpet, sector, freedom, extra, etc. |
Objective 5 | To investigate and learn spelling rules:- words ending in modifying e drop e when adding ing, e.g. taking
- words ending in modifying e keep e when adding a suffix beginning with a consonant, e.g. hopeful, lovely
- words ending in y preceded by a consonant change y to ie when adding a suffix, e.g. flies, tried - except for the suffixes ly or ing, e.g. shyly flying
