For children in Year 1, we use the Raising stars spelling scheme to support our work in phonics and learning to spell the common exception words.

For children in Years 2-6, we use Read, Write, Inc spelling strategies:

• Revisit and Review: Looking back of tricky spellings, addressing errors and revisiting aspects of phase 5 and 6 phonics and revisiting spelling rules.
• Introduce and Teach: Using strategies to teach 10 weekly spellings which include age expected words from the National Curriculum word lists and those words which follow a particular spelling rule/pattern.
• Practise and Apply: Using games, memory tricks and spelling tasks to learn the words and investigate other words which use the same spelling rule.
• Dictation: Writing the words in sentences to understand the context in which they are used.

In addition to this, children in years 1 - 6 use Schofield & Sims spelling homework books to consolidate and support previously taught spellings and spelling rules.
