KEY WORDS
In this booklet, you will find key words for each unit of work that you will study this year. You
will also find activities to help you to learn how to spell some of these key words and some
spelling strategies – use those that help you most.
It might be useful to write in the meaning of some of these key words as you use them in
lessons. Some blank pages have been included at the back of the booklet for you to build up a
glossary and to practise the ‘LOOK/ COVER/ SAY/ WRITE/ CHECK’ spelling strategy.
There will be many key words for each subject that you will learn during the year. The words
in this booklet are the ones you will be introduced to first or use more regularly. You can add
new words to each page as you wish.
SPELLING STRATEGIES
Break it into sounds (a-b-s-t-r-a-c-t)
Break it into syllables (de-vel-op-ment)
Break it into affixes and the root (dis-comfort/ comfort-able)
Use a mnemonic (Necessary = Never Eat Chips Eat Salad Sandwiches And Remain Young)
Make up a phrase linked to the spelling difficulty (Necessary = 1 Collar, 2 Sleeves)
Refer to a word in the same family (muscle links to muscular) and create word webs
Say it as it sounds and emphasise the parts of the word (Wed-nes-day)
Find words within words (rag – in diaphragm)
Link to the history (etymology) of the word (bi + cycle = two + wheels)
Use a key word (horrible/ drinkable for ‘ible’ and ‘able’)
Apply spelling rules (‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’)
Use Look-Cover-Write-Check
Turn the word into a visual picture (bed – the stick on the ‘b’ is the headboard’, the ‘d’ is
the footboard)
Link tricky words with a memory helper that has the same problem letters (Tell that
mosquito to quit biting me)
The following words will be used by your teachers from the beginning of Year 7. The
general words link to the skills you will need for your work on the Year 7 curriculum.

after the object it is describing:

feminine:

Je suis (I am) Je ne suis pas (I am not)
If the verb begins with a vowel or ‘h’ use n’…pas
J’ai (I have) J n’ai pas (I don’t have)
Plurals:
Some French nouns don’t add –s in the plural. Words ending in –al change to –aux in the
plural:
Exemple un animal (an animal) des animaux (some animals)

Exemple un oiseau (a bird) des oiseaux (some birds)
