This worksheet provides students with explicit practise of the spelling sound /shun/ and nominalisation. Students first review the spelling generalisations that accompany the sound. They then work through a variety of activities to demonstrate their understanding of the strategy. This worksheet could be used as an explicit teaching activity, independent activity, during literacy rotations or a guided language group. This resource is part of the Year 5 Strategic Spelling Unit Plan.
