3 Word Lists for July 2021

blog home

  1. The Dirty 30 (part 1 and part 2)

    Many people struggle with spelling these 30 words, and because they are so often spelt wrong, it is likely that examiners will be watching out for them while marking papers. Make sure you don’t get caught out – you might find these mnemonics helpful too.
     
  2. Prefixes: per or pre?

    In this month’s spelling pattern word list, you can practise per and pre prefixes. 

    A prefix is a group of letters put on the front of a word to change its meaning – per means ‘by or through’ and pre means ‘before’. Learn more about them in Unit 23.
     
  3. Flowers

    This month’s Word for Wednesday theme is flowers and over the next few weeks we’ll be looking at the words delphinium, lily, orchid, and iris. Learn to spell these flower words and more here.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries.
