Spelling Challenge Cards Level 6-9
Level 6 and Level 7 = Y3/4 statutory words
Level 8 and Level 9 = Y5/6 statutory words
These follow on from the KS1 spelling bundle also in my TES store.
Each challenge card is split into bronze, silver and gold (these aren’t progressive, they just offer milestones) Children take the sheets home and practice the words. When they are confident they can spell them, the parents cut the relevant slip off the bottom and send it in to say they are ready to be tested! Teachers can test all/ a random sample of the words to validate.
Each level has bronze, silver and gold certs. Each time a child gets a cert, we offer 3 raffle tickets (in the bundle) and 2 house points (you can add your own rewards!). We will run a termly raffle to win £20!
The handbook includes background information for teachers about common spelling patterns, useful strategies, including mnemonics, and spelling and phonic games. Many of the ideas resources have been posted elsewhere - acknowledged at end.
Children write their spelling words into the spiral then they cut it out and hang it up. This is a great resource to motivate children or to engage children who need novel experiences.
Brick wall style background that the children can use to display their spelling words in graffiti style. I usually write first in pencil, check and go over with black, then surround with highlighter and colours. Examples can be found on Instagram @TeachingInTechnicolour.
This a collection of spelling games I have sourced from around the web and some I have created myself. I wanted to have them all in one place for ease of use. I print them back to back, laminate and have on my board ready to use. I have found the tic-tac-toe and basketball game to be wonderfully successful, particularly with the boys in my class.

A range of spelling activities to help struggling spellers: unstressed vowels, tricky words, homophones, syllables, silent letters, compound words, breaking words down
This bundle features weekly spellings for children to learn from reception to year 5.
The spellings are based on letters and sounds and support for spellings.
Reception = 6 weeks
Year 1 = 20 weeks
Year 2 = 22 weeks
Year 3 = 30 weeks
Year 4 = 35 weeks
Year 5 = 13 weeks
The sheets are editable and some have space to add words you may be focusing on for that week.
The sheets have space for the children to practise the spellings daily.
Each set also includes a master template.
These spellings can also be be purchased separately from my shop.
3 four in-a-row games and 3 puzzles worksheets for fun revision of the KS2 Y5 / Y6 statutory word list of 100 words. They work well for Year 6 SATs tests preparation, or use as starter tasks, early finisher activities or as stations in spelling / SPaG lessons. Ideal as fun, meaningful fillers activities too. These use UK spelling, punctuation and grammar rules.
SAVE as part of a SPaG Revision Activities BUNDLE, which also contains SPaG Editing / Proofreading Puzzles.
3 HIDDEN WORD / SPOT THE MISTAKES PUZZLES:
Puzzles feature sentences containing multiple words from the Year 5 and Year 6 spelling list, most spelled correctly
Students check carefully to spot errors and highlight corresponding letters in the grid at the bottom
Rearrange highlighted letters to form another word from the spelling list
To save printing, print puzzles on card and laminate. Students use whiteboard pens, allowing repeated use
Puzzles are included with a pastel background, to reduce glare for dyslexic learners and others for whom this is helpful. If not colour printing, it becomes a greyscale background, which you might like, though there are also versions without a background
Spotting errors may help students remember to check their own work and help them avoid errors themselves
Individual, pairs or small group use
For differentiation put lower ability children into pairs, perhaps with a higher ability student. You could allow a word list or dictionary for support
3 FOUR IN A ROW GAMES:
Each board contains 36 sentences featuring a misspelled word from the Year 5 and Year 6 word list
These words are printed in bold and underlined
Pairs or individuals can play against each other, aiming to correct 4 adjacent spellings in a line - horizontally, vertically or diagonally
Students roll dice to determine from which column they must pick a sentence
Print and laminate for regular use
Originally designed for A3 printing, and I recommend this, with students writing directly on the board with a thin whiteboard pen. However, it works fine in A4 (you may need to adjust printer settings). If A4, students could write their spelling on a mini whiteboard or paper and put their initials in the space if correct
