Spelling Patterns
Spelling
- Using the Spelling Shed scheme to teach spelling across the school.
- Each week teachers will teach a new pattern.
- Spelling tests will take place each Friday. Children will have some sentences dictated to them by their teacher. These sentences will include some of the words children have practised that week. In addition, the sentences will also include words that have spelling patterns in from previous weeks and some of the year group words that children also need to practise and learn – these are referred to as challenge words in the scheme. These will be marked with the children so that they know how they have done.
- Encourage children to learn their spellings and their pattern each week, play the games on the Spelling Shed and complete their weekly homework task.
- Weekly Homework Sheets will be sent home on a Friday. Completed sheets to be returned to school the following Thursday.
- Spelling Shed games will go live on a Friday.
