WB: 24.11.25

This unit follows on from the revision of words with the -gue and -que spelling patterns. The
focus is on how the origin of the word determines the pronunciation of the ‘ch’ digraph:
hard ‘k’ for words originating from Greek; soft ‘sh’ for words originating from French.

WB: 17.11.25

The -gue and -que endings are dealt with together here because of their common derivation
(French). Words using the same endings are introduced progressively to build children’s
confidence in using what they know to generalise and apply to the pronunciation and spelling
of similar words.
