Key Teaching Points for Fiction.1. Identify the genre-the type of story/poem2. Familiarise the pupils with the text. (Learn it off by heart)3. Deconstruct the text onto the story mountain-identify the beginning, middle and

end of the story and what happens in each section4. Identify the features of the text5. Pull out specific words, phrases and sentences pupils ought to use6. Identify the strands of the story that will be changed, otherwise ‘hug’ the text7. Model thinking of a new version of the story and mapping it8. Use the map to model writing your own version with the class9. Pupils write their own story maps10. Pupils tell their stories from the maps11. Pupils write their stories12. Select a specific element(s) to edit and model editing before children to the same

All to be taught in Year 5 and consolidates in Year 6

Endings which sound like /shus/

spelt –cious or –tious

Not many common words end like this.

If the root word ends in –ce, the /sh/ sound is spelt as c – e.g. vice –

vicious, grace – gracious, space – spacious, malice – malicious.

Exception: anxious

vicious, precious, conscious, delicious, malicious, suspicious

ambitious, cautious, fictitious, infectious, nutritious

Endings which sound like /shul/

–cial is common after a vowel and –tial after a consonant, but there

are some exceptions.

Exceptions: initial, financial, commercial, provincial (though the

spelling of the last three could be said to come from finance,

official, special, artificial, partial, confidential, essential

Page 14: Web viewSee the following documents in the school’s Literacy Framework File. S. ... .Over the hill .. Inside the ... Words with silent letters

commerce and province.

Words ending in –ant, –ance/–

ancy, –ent, –ence/–ency

Use –ant and –ance/–ancy if there is a related word with a clear /a/

or /ai/ sound in the right position –

–ation endings are often a clue.

Use –ent and –ence/–ency after soft c (/s/ sound), soft g (/j/ sound)

and qu, or if there is a related word with a clear /e/ sound in the right

position.

There are many words, however, where the above guidelines don’t

help. These words just have to be learnt.

observant, observance, (observAtion), expectant (expectAtion)

hesitant, hesitancy (hesitAtion), tolerant, tolerance (tolerAtion),

substance (substAntial)

innocent, innocence, decent, decency, frequent, frequency,

confident, confidence (confidEntial), assistant, assistance,

obedient, obedience, independent, independence

Words ending in –able and –ible

The –able ending is far more common than the –ible ending.

As with –ant and –ance/–ancy, the –able ending is used if there is a

related word ending in –

adorable (adoration), applicable (application), considerable

(consideration), tolerable (toleration)

changeable, noticeable, forcible, legible

dependable, comfortable, understandable, reasonable, enjoyable,

reliable

Page 15: Web viewSee the following documents in the school’s Literacy Framework File. S. ... .Over the hill .. Inside the ... Words with silent letters

ation.

If the –able ending is added to a word ending in –ce or –ge, the e

after the c or g must be kept as those letters would otherwise have

their ‘hard’ sounds (as in cap and gap) before the a of the –able

ending.

The –able ending is usually but not always used if a complete root

word can be heard before it, even if there is no related word ending

in –ation. The first six examples opposite are obvious; in reliable, the

complete word rely is heard, but the y changes to i in accordance

with the rule.

The –ible ending is common if a complete root word can’t be heard

before it but it also

possible, horrible, terrible, visible, incredible, sensible

Page 16: Web viewSee the following documents in the school’s Literacy Framework File. S. ... .Over the hill .. Inside the ... Words with silent letters

sometimes occurs when a complete word can be heard (e.g. sensible).

Adding suffixes beginning with

vowels to words ending in –fer

The r is doubled if the –fer is still stressed when the ending is added.

The r is not doubled if the –fer is no longer stressed.

referring, referred, referral, preferring, preferred, transferring,

transferred

reference, referee, preference, transference

Use of the hyphen to link words Hyphens can

be used to join a prefix to a root word, especially if the

prefix ends in a vowel and the root word also begins with one.

e.g. co-ordinate, re-iterate, pre-eminent, co-own

Words with the /ee/ sound spelt ei

after c

The ‘i before e except after c’ rule applies to words where the sound

spelt by ei is a clear /ee/.

Exceptions: protein, caffeine, seize.

deceive, conceive, receive, perceive, ceiling (+ deceit, conceit,

receipt)

Words containing the letter-string

ough

ough is one of the trickiest spellings in English – it can be used to

spell a number of different sounds.

ought, bought, thought, nought

rough, tough, enough

cough

though, although, dough

Page 17: Web viewSee the following documents in the school’s Literacy Framework File. S. ... .Over the hill .. Inside the ... Words with silent letters

through

thorough, borough

plough

Words with ‘silent’ letters (i.e.

letters which cannot be predicted

from the pronunciation of the

word)

Some letters which are no longer sounded used to be sounded

hundreds of years ago: e.g. in knight, the k was sounded as /k/ and

the gh used to represent the sound that ‘ch’ now represents in the

Scottish word loch.

doubt, island, lamb, solemn, thistle, knight

Homophones and other words

that are often confused

In these pairs of words, nouns end –ce and verbs end –se. Advice

and advise provide a useful clue as the word advise (verb) is
