Unit focus

  • Students analyse complex words through syllables, graphemes, bases, prefixes, suffixes and word meaning, then verify pronunciation and spelling in sentence context and related word families.
  • Use this routine: Notice → Analyse → Interpret → Apply → Create → Review.
  • Watch for word split after every vowel letter: Use spoken syllables and grapheme patterns.
