Spelling is taught daily via a series of sequenced sessions in school. The spelling programme used focuses on the explicit teaching of spelling so that children understand how to apply patterns, strategies and knowledge to other words.

To help to support your child’s developing spelling knowledge at home, you could work on learning the words from the common exception and statutory word lists.
