Tom takes them to see his porch. It is broken and Tom cannot (can’t) close the door. It is stuck open. “I can mend it for you,” Frank tells Tom. Frank drove off to get some wood from the store. While he had gone Jack helped Tom to hose the yard. He hoped he did not get his feet wet. Teaching Tips:
· Ask your pupil to tell you the powerful 'e' rule. Help if necessary to get it right. · Follow the same instructions as per a-e for adding ing/ed. Look what happens when we add 'ing' or 'ed' to these verbs: use - used - using glue -glued -gluing recue - rescued - rescuing Say the words both correctly and incorrectly spelt to see and hear the difference: e.g. tub or tube? · Talk about prefixes: here we have a common one: ‘un’ for untrue. · Talk about the two scenes in the dictation: the arrival, the departure of Frank and what happened while he was gone. We separate the two with a paragraph. Tell you pupil how to lay out the writing, as we are only modelling at this stage; it a new idea. |
