Year 3 Spelling PowerPoints for Homophones, tion Words and Tricky Spelling Patterns

Help pupils tackle more complex spelling patterns with our Year 3 Summer 2 spelling lesson presentations, designed to support whole-class spelling teaching across Weeks 7–11. These engaging spelling PowerPoints explore tricky Year 3 and 4 spelling patterns, statutory word list vocabulary, homophones and word endings through clear explanations, modelled examples and interactive discussion opportunities.

Aligned with the National Curriculum and the Mrs Mactivity SPaG scheme, these Year 3 spelling lesson presentations help children develop confidence with unfamiliar spelling patterns and commonly misspelt words. Pupils explore pronunciation, spelling choices and word meanings while building accuracy in their independent writing.

• Week 8 – Year 3 and 4 statutory spelling words (e.g. perhaps, possible, sentence, straight, strength, women)
• Week 9 – -tion word endings (e.g. action, addition, invention, mention, question)
• Week 10 – -sion and -ation word endings (e.g. invasion, television, information, operation, preparation)
• Week 11 – Homophones (e.g. heel/heal/he’ll, reign/rain/rein, grown/groan, you’re/your)

Ideal for introducing weekly spelling rules and patterns, these Year 3 spelling PowerPoints support pupils as they investigate word structures, tricky sounds and common spelling misconceptions.
