Want your learners to master the statutory words in the year 5 and 6 list and take ownership of their learning? Here are five sets of activities, each ten minutes . Based on Year 5 and 6 UK National Curriculum Statutory Spelling List. Each set covers 20 words, so the five sets together cover all 100 words exactly once as focus words. How to use these sets Each set takes 10 minutes and follows the same shape: • Activity 1 (2 min): Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check with 5 tricky words • Activity 2 (3 min): a different word-play task each time • Activity 3 (3 min): dictation of 5 sentences. Read each sentence once, then once more in chunks, then once to check. A peer can dictate to the other too! • Activity 4 (2 min): a quick proofreading or gap-fill task Answers are given at the end of each set. Pupils can self-mark or swap books and peer-mark. Ask them to rewrite any misspelt word three times.
