Super Spelling
Words can be tricky to read when their spelling is different in comparison to how they sound, or if one word has multiple meanings.
This page will inform you of common words and their sounds.
Make sure you are happy with the following topics before continuing:
Context
Context may help you to understand what a tricky word says and what it means.
Some words are homophones, meaning a word may sound the same but mean different things – watch out for those!
For example:
- new/knew
- ate/eight
If you are reading a text, the surrounding information may give you a clue as to what the word means.
Have a look at the following example:
“I wasn’t going to go to the shops, but bear with me and I will get ready.”
The surrounding context is helpful in this example as the information before and after gives a clue as to what it means.
 ‘Bear‘ means ‘wait‘ in this instance.
However, ‘bare‘ means exposed!
For example:
Trees look very bare in the autumn.
