Endings to look out for
Many Grade 6 words end in -ing, -heid, -skap, -nis or -ig. Once your child knows the ending, only the front of the word is left to learn: gemeenskap is gemeen plus -skap, and geskiedenis ends in -nis. The ending -ig, as in nuuskierig, sounds like “uh” followed by the rough Afrikaans g.
Words with -heid change in the plural: geleentheid becomes geleenthede.
A five-minute routine for older children
Older children can practise on their own. Ask for five minutes a day: listen, type, and fix what the app marks. The words your child gets wrong come back more often, so the time goes where it is needed. The day before the test, do the whole list once more.
