Would your Y5 child know this?

[Bunnyislost]

It’s exam week at DC1’s school this week. She is also dyslexic. She was asked in an (Atom-style) exam to identify the words “inure” and “fjord” and was also expected to know how they were spelt. She’d not heard of either of them so had no idea that they were words nor how they were spelt, dyslexia or not.

I’m wondering whether lots of kids her age would know this sort of thing?

Fjord if it's a child that has met it! I'd say inure is the easier of the two (y5 teacher) and I think 90% of my class would use their phonics to sound it out - in and then the ure sound.
