Year 6Spelling
Statutory requirements
Rules and guidance (non-statutory) Example words (non-statutory)
Endings which sound like /ʃəs/ spelt –cious or –tious
Not many common words end like this.
If the root word ends in –ce, the /ʃ/ sound is usually spelt as c – e.g. vice – vicious, grace – gracious, space – spacious, malice – malicious.
Exception: anxious.
vicious, precious, conscious, delicious, malicious, suspicious
ambitious, cautious, fictitious, infectious, nutritious
Endings which sound like /ʃəl/
–cial is common after a vowel letter and –tial after a consonant letter, but there are some exceptions.
Exceptions: initial, financial, commercial, provincial (the spelling of the last three is clearly related to finance, commerce and province).
official, special, artificial, partial, confidential, essential
Words ending in –ant, –ance/–ancy, –ent, –ence/–ency
Use –ant and –ance/–ancy if there is a related word with a /æ/ or /eɪ/ sound in the right position; –ation endings are often a clue.
Use –ent and –ence/–ency after soft c (/s/ sound), soft g (/dʒ/ sound) and qu, or if there is a related word with a clear /ɛ/ sound in the right position.
There are many words, however, where the above guidance does not help. These words just have to be learnt.
observant, observance, (observation), expectant (expectation), hesitant, hesitancy (hesitation), tolerant, tolerance (toleration), substance (substantial)
innocent, innocence, decent, decency, frequent, frequency, confident, confidence (confidential)
assistant, assistance, obedient, obedience, independent, independence
Adding suffixes beginning with vowel letters to words ending in –fer
The r is doubled if the –fer is still stressed when the ending is added.
The r is not doubled if the –fer is no longer stressed.
referring, referred, referral, preferring, preferred, transferring, transferredreference, referee, preference, transference
Year 6 Spelling (cont’d)
Statutory requirements
Rules and guidance (non-statutory) Example words (non-statutory)
Use of the hyphen
Hyphens can be used to join a prefix to a root word, especially if the prefix ends in a vowel letter and the root word also begins with one.
co-ordinate, re-enter, co-operate, co-own
Words with the /i:/ sound spelt ei after c
The ‘i before e except after c’ rule applies to words where the sound spelt by ei is /i:/.Exceptions: protein, caffeine, seize (and either and neither if pronounced with an initial /i:/ sound).
deceive, conceive, receive, perceive, ceiling
Year 6 Grammar & Punctuation
Sentence Structure1 Use of the passive to affect the presentation of information in a
sentence [for example, I broke the window in the greenhouse versus The window in the greenhouse was broken (by me)].
2 The difference between structures typical of informal speech and structures appropriate for formal speech and writing [for example, the use of question tags: He’s your friend, isn’t he?, or the use of subjunctive forms such as If I were or Were they to come in some very formal writing
Text Structure1 Linking ideas across paragraphs using a wider range of cohesive
devices: repetition of a word or phrase, grammatical connections [for example, the use of adverbials such as on the other hand, in contrast, or as a consequence], and ellipsis
2 Layout devices, such as headings, sub-headings, columns, bullets, or tables, to organise, present and structure text for the reader
Punctuation 1 Use of the semi-colon, colon and dash to mark the boundary
between independent clauses [for example, It’s raining; I’m fed up]
2 Use of the colon to introduce a list and use of semi-colons within lists
3 Punctuation of bullet points to list information4 How hyphens can be used to avoid ambiguity [for example, man
eating shark versus man-eating shark, or recover versus re-cover]
Terminology for Pupils1 subject, object, active, passive, synonym, antonym, ellipsis,
hyphen, colon, semi-colon, bullet point
