Year 5 Target Words

By the end of the year, it is expected that everyone in Year 5 can spell and understand the meaning of all the words in this document – Year 5 Spelling list.

Break the list of words down into manageable chunks (perhaps 5 words per session) and then look up the meaning of any words you don’t understand. After that, practice spelling the words by writing it out three times. Now use the word in a sentence that shows you understand the meaning of that word (don’t forget to include advanced punctuation like speech punctuation or commas to show subordinate clauses).

    Even though we have all these words in the back of our Literacy book this will help us at home to work on the list of Year 5 target words. So in our spare time we can practice and get full marks. Since we have got these my and I am sure everyone else’s spelling scores are going up. I know this because the last 3 weeks that we have had I got 10 out of 10. Thanks Mr. Antcliffe!
