We work on learning to spell words through a variety of activities. Some include spelling rules, spelling patterns, letter sound patterns, commonly used words, word origins, prefixes, suffixes and word meanings.
Some classes work on learning new spelling words with Spelling City
There are some great games for exploring grammar on BBC Bitesize Spelling and Grammar
We also love practising using whiteboards, chalkboards, padlet.com and some spelling games. Here some other ideas to increase the variety of ways to practise your spelling words.
These are the most commonly used words for writing that we work on learning
