Spelling strategies for the Year 5 & 6 statutory spelling words set by the government. Children can use mnemonics, silly rhymes and alternative ways to say the words to help them spell all of the statutory words. I made this resource to support my Year 5 & 6 pupils learn how to spell the words set by the government. This resource can be used effectively as: A lesson starter An activity during registration Word of the day The powerpoint slides can be printed out as posters to form a display once a new word has been introduced. The spelling strategy for each word can be reinforced in spelling tests. Dyslexia pupils have benefited from alternative ways to look at the words. Turn the spelling strategies into a game - the first person who can give me a spelling strategy for…will go outside to play first etc. Play hangman using the words that children have spelling strategies for - they will be guessing the words, telling you the strategies and spelling the words correctly in no time! Regular reinforcement of these strategies works best.
