Pupils should be taught to:
• use further prefixes and suffixes and understand how to add them – as per DOE
English Appendix 1: Spelling
• spell further homophones
• spell words that are often misspelt – as per DOE English Appendix 1: Spelling
• place the possessive apostrophe accurately in words with regular plurals
[for example, girls’, boys’] and in words with irregular plurals [for example,
children’s]
