Age 10-11- Mars Reading Round Robin Session 2- Spelling Strategies

This is the spelling introduction (30 minutes) to a round robin rotation of activities in future sessions. We concentrate on strategies to spell problem words, tricky words and words with the suffixes –tial or -cial. The session is aimed at children at an age 10-11 level (Year 6 in England and Wales).

It is the second session in a unit based around a mission to Mars with Literacy, Maths and other Curriculum lessons planned. A PowerPoint is provided to recap strategies to spell problem and tricky words and introduce words with the suffixes –tial or -cial. There is also support in using read, sound, write, check to assess and learn spellings from a Fry sight word list by using a phonics chart to identify graphemes. Pictures and actions support identification of phonemes.

There is a lesson plan which includes:

• suggested links to curriculums;
• notes to provide lesson support;
• main, groups and plenary sections with suggested timings (please change depending on your class);
• sections of the lesson linked to Blooms taxonomy;
• PowerPoint presentations to support teaching;
• differentiated group activities;
• consideration of, and reference to, different learning styles; and
• independent activities that are planned to aim to allow the teacher to support or extend an assessment group within the lesson.

The plan and PowerPoint are detailed and thorough to provide teaching structure, if needed, for the whole, or parts, of the session.

Thankyou,
