Today we are learning how to spell 2 syllable words eg chicken, jacket, zigzag, boatman, tonight etc. Please use opportunities when sharing a book with your child or listening to them read to help identify these word types. Recognising the syllables in words helps support spelling and breaks it down into more manageable chunks. We will use this approach...![](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/images/IMG_6364.PNG)
