Work along with the video on words with more than one syllable.  We will also be thinking about what we do when we can’t hear all the sounds in a word.

We now need to think about the spoken emphasis, or stress, in words with more than one syllable.  This is because we only double a stressed syllable if it has a short vowel and is followed by one consonant.

You may prefer to go through this video in shorter sections.  Here are the timings: 

1. Stop after ‘tobogganing’
2. Restart at 6:40 and stop after ‘bottom’
3. Restart at 9:29 and stop after ‘Simon’
4. Restart at 12:32 for two dictation sentences.

Use writing, or typing to practise your words again.  You can also read the words to someone else and ask them to write them.
