Literacy Tasks for Banqer $$
In Room 3 we use our literacy tasks to earn us some Banqer dollars. Each has it's own purpose for our spelling knowledge, so make sure youre giving each one a go, and not concentrating on each one.
Complete one of these tasks for two of your words each day - two words a day will give you 10 words over the week.
Remember that the words you should be doing first are those that you are spelling incorrectly in your writing!

Low Income tasks ($5 per two words)
- Rainbow writing - This ones pretty easy, and the idea behind it is that you write the word a couple of times, saying it as you write it. The more you write a word, and say a word, you'll definitely get better at it.
- Repeated spelling - this is exactly what it is. Spell the word once. Cover it, spell it 5 more times, covering it each time. Check it in between each time you write it.
- Word Pyramids - watch the video. It's pretty self explanatory. Start at the top with the first letter, and then the second letter
- Word shapes - write your words and then draw the shape around them. Make sure your tall letters are tall, and your letters that are below line, are below the line.
- Silly Sentences - put your words into silly sentences. The examples on the page are for the word 'silly'
- Medium income for either simple sentences or compound sentences
- Word meaning/dictionary definition - write your words, and then write their meanings next to them
- Chunk and Cut - this is what is says. Write your word, cut it into chunks, and then stick them into your book in the right order
