Term 2 review: adverbs, to + verb and sounds
Adverbs tell how we do things: slowly, quietly, carefully, happily, well, fast, hard. The infinitive of purpose tells why: We use a ladder to reach the shelf. Must and mustn’t tell rules: You must wear a helmet. You mustn’t run near the road. Sounds from Term 2 were /w/ in w and wh words (whale, wail), /f/ in gh words (laughed, enough), /eə/ (bear, pair), sh and ch and tch (shop, chop, catch). Prefix stress stays on the base word: re-PLAY, un-HAP-py, dis-LIKE. In syllable stress we say one syllable more strongly: PEL-i-can, fla-MIN-go. Practise reading these aloud.
| Sound | Words |
|---|---|
| /w/ | whale, wail, water, when |
| /f/ (gh) | laughed, enough |
| /eə/ | bear, hair, pair, pear |
| sh / ch / tch | shop, chop, catch, watch |
| prefix stress | re-PLAY, un-HAP-py, dis-LIKE |

You must stay with the group. You mustn’t run near the water.
Why do we take hats?
To protect us from the sun. Walk slowly, please, and listen carefully.
Four skills. The child writes one sentence for each: an adverb (She works carefully), a purpose (We use a hat to protect us from the sun), a rule (You mustn’t run near the water) and a prefix word with stress in capital letters. Then the child says six sound words from the table to a grown-up.
