Spelling Lists

 

This is the way we teach spelling at St. Richard’s:

In line with other curriculum areas, and our vision for the school, we will teach Spelling mastery as whole class.

The children will become masters of spelling, with mastery shown through their writing, away from the point of teaching.

 

Children will have a spelling quiz on Monday and then throughout the week will practise their focus spellings and have another spelling quiz on Friday. If they get more correct they will be awarded 'Master Speller'. Working walls will be used to share the spellings on a Monday, or focus words of the week.  Children will be introduced to the week’s spelling words/ focus pattern through activities and discussions. During the week, through short, daily lessons, children will have the opportunity to practise, explore and understand more about the particular words of the week.  Spellings will continue to be corrected through up-levelling of writing, and with teacher/ TA support and highlighted through feedback. Spelling is about building vocabulary, word catching, word collecting – we can in still a love of words and pattern finding in our children.
