I used these spelling sheets for homework with my top set G.C.S.E class in my first school and Key Stage 3 in my current school when studying ‘A Christmas Carol’. There are three sheets, each list at least 10 words (one has a few extra!) with space to write the definiton of each word, practice the spelling and write which character it applies to. The characters covered are: Marley, Fred, The Ghost of Christmas Past, Scrooge, The Ghost of Christmas Present and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. This ensured my students had ambitious vocabulary across the novella for all characters.

I have used these homeworks sheets with a top set G.C.S.E class and more recently a KS3 class.
