Helping your child with Spelling

Are you aware of the importance of your child's spelling in the new curriculum?

Spelling has never played a more important role. 

At both key stage 1 and key stage 2, children are assessed on their spelling not only in the Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Test, but also as a key factor in their writing. 

In school, we are working hard to help your children to learn more about words in lots of ways:

• spelling rules;
• strategies to help them remember words/ patterns;
• playing games - learning through repetition;
• online games;
• applying spelling in their writing. 

Would you like more ways to help your child at home?
