This spelling pack contains a spelling worksheet for each week of the academic year. Each worksheet gives a list of ten spellings related to one rule specified by the National Curriculum. There is also a fun and engaging activity to go with each list. A perfect resource for teachers needing to make termly spelling booklets or parents wanting to keep their child up to speed.
Spelling Challenge Cards Level 1-5
Level 1 = phase 3 CEW and HFW
Level 2 = Phase 4 CEW and HFW
Level 3 = Phase 5a
Level 4 = Phase 5b
Level 5 = Phase 5c
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.
This bundle allows pupils to practise their handwriting and spellings concurrently. The spellings have been sourced from the National Curriculum Statutory Spellings List for Years 5&6.
There are 3 documents provided in this bundle.
The 1st document provides children with one of the 5/6 statutory spellings which is written with ‘dots’ which sit on the guidelines. Children are to trace these letters which will help with their letter formation.
The 2nd document removes the guide lines, but still provides the ‘dots’ for the children.
The 3rd document removes the dots and provides the student with a series of guidelines. The upper line contains a Y5/6 spelling in a cursive style as a guide for the student. The lower line is where the student should try to replicate the above example.

A resource to help children become independent when practising their own spellings. Children can choose a method from the Spelling Menu to use when practising their spellings
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.
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.

Level 6 and Level 7 = Y3/4 statutory words
Level 8 and Level 9 = Y5/6 statutory words

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.
