Spell all 40 common words

Throughout Year 5 children are expected to learn how to spell the 40 new words which are commonly used in reading and writing.

Some of these do not follow the normal phonic rules and are known as 'tricky' words. Here there is no trick to learning to spell these words they just have to know.
