Spelling Lists for Semester 1 Week 6

Tip of the week:


I've been thinking about the word 'unfortunately'.


It is a very useful word for school compositions. With a single word, the writer can signal to the reader that there is a turn in the story and that the bad things are going to happen soon, making the reader sit up in attention. So learn how to spell and use 'unfortunately' in your stories. For maximum impact, use it at the start of the paragraph that describes the problem/conflict in the story.


Younger children who find it difficult to spell could use the easier variant 'unluckily' instead.


End of tip. Now see below for your spelling lists. :)
