Dear parents/carers,
Thank you for your support throughout our first week back. The children have made an excellent start to year 6 and it was wonderful to see so many of you at our curriculum meeting last week.
Spellings – Suffixes -able and –ible
New spellings will be sent in this email every Tuesday to be tested on the following Tuesday.
Rules:
- ‘-able’ is more common than ‘-ible’.
- The ‘-able’ ending is usually used (but not always) if a complete root word can be heard before it. In some cases the ending of the root word may change, for example. rely/reliable.
- The ‘-ible’ root is common if a complete root word cannot be heard before it (but not without exception, for example sensible).
- The ‘-able’ ending is used if there is a related word ending in ‘-ation’ for example, applicable/application
