Year 3 Language Conventions
Students will be tested the ability to spell accurately many frequently used and readily recognised words (eg come, going, like, saw, was, went, but, from, they, very, you)
Other one- and two-syllable words, most words of one syllable with common spelling patterns (eg sharp, thick, star, crown, spoon, free, green, play)
Some words of two syllables with common spelling patterns (eg sunny, playing).
While students are expected to spell accurately the words described above, they also attempt to spell a wider range of words. Errors made with these words should be close to the look and/or sound of the correct spelling (eg gess for guess, jungil for jungle, redy for ready).
