 * Spelling and vocabulary**
 * 1) You must always write down new words that you have come across and put these in your vocabulary section with their meanings underneath. You should be doing this on a daily basis.
 * 2) Every time you spell a word incorrectly you must write it down in your spelling area - you must have 15 words a week so you can write words from your vocabulary list as well. You will have a week to learn these words and you will then be tested on them in your literacy programme.
