In this objective, children will learn how to build words using the base aut/ stem auto. Over three  20-minute lessons, they will:

·      Develop understanding of using a connecting vowel letter to join morphemes.

·       Practise spelling plural nouns with base aut/ stem auto.

·       Learn that adding suffix -y to a base or stem sometimes forms nouns.

·       Apply four spelling rules:

Double the final consonant letter when a word ends in a CVC pattern and the stress is on the last syllable, then add the vowel suffix.
Drop the final silent e vowel letter, then add the vowel suffix.
Change the final letter y after a consonant letter to i, then add the suffix (except -ing).
Just add the suffix -y.

·    Practise applying spelling rules with different tenses including the simple past tense and past progressive tense.

·   Reinforce learning with practical games
