Word endings: -sure and -ture

I can correctly form words ending in -sure and -ture.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. -sure and -ture are common spellings for the endings of words.
  2. The words start with a lead in and finish with a lead out.
  3. The pencil does not lift when forming the join, only after to add the cross to a t or a dot to an i or a j.
  4. There are four cursive joins.
  5. The join used depends on which letter is joining to which letter within a letter string.

Common misconception

Children can sometimes see the word ending as a separate word and lift their pencil which disconnects the letter string.

Remind the children to look and read the word before writing it. Get them feeling confident that this is one word and the flow needs to continue until the last letter in the letter string.

Keywords

  • Word endings - letters or groups of letters at the end of a word

  • Join - how the letters are connected together

  • Letter string - a group of letters that are written together in a word

  • Lead in - the stroke or line that guides us into starting a letter

  • Lead out - the stroke or line that guides us to smoothly finish a letter

Consistent practice is crucial. Short, daily practice sessions are more effective than longer, less frequent ones.
