Year 3 and 4 Spelling / Word List Booklet
This creates a very useful A5 booklet when it is double-sided and folded.
It has all the year 3 and 4 words in alphabetical order - with boxes next to them which can be used in various ways.
-These could be used at home or school to check the number of times the pupil has spelt each word correctly.
-The children could use the boxes to keep a track of how many times they have used the words in their written work. As we all know, the children can often get the spellings right in a test - but not in their work! This could help to address this issue and widen their written vocabulary.
