Year 5/6 Spelling Starter Challenge - The Often Wrong Quiz

3 Differentiated Grids of words (20 in each) that are often spelled incorrectly.

Children start off with a number points and lose 10, 100 or 1000 points for each incorrect spelling they have circled (number of points lost depends on the difficulty of the challenge).

Lower Ability will start on 200 points and focuses mostly on short/frequently used words that are often seen to be spelled incorrectly.

Middle Ability will start with 2000 points.

Higher Ability (more challenging content) start with 20,000 points.

Task is ideal for a starter challenge - at the beginning of the school day or English/literacy.

Answer Sheets are included in a separate document for either teacher, peer or self marking.
