Learning Intention

To revise  the ‘schwa’ as a swallowed or neutral vowel sound.

Introduction

Main Learning

Introduce the suffix <-ary> that make nouns or adjectives that mean ‘connected with’

Some <-ary> nouns refer to where things are kept, as in diary, library, glossary, or dictionary

Notice from your spelling list how the ‘a’ is unstressed, and therefore difficult to hear the difference between words that end in <-ary> or <-ery>.

Remember there is no rule so the spelling must be learnt. A dictionary will help you spell the word correctly.
