Spelling
At Chopwell primary School, we use Spelling Shed to accompany the teaching and learning of spelling. We teach daily spelling lessons in KS2 and complete a weekly spelling test. In KS1, we teach a weekly spelling lesson and complete a weekly spelling test too. Within each year group, 36 weekly spelling objectives are taught which provides a steady progression throughout the curriculum as well as review and challenge lists to extend vocabulary. For each week's spelling list, we provide a homework booklet to support pupils practising their spellings at home. This follows the look-cover-write-check format. In Reception, spellings are carefully selected to match the individual pupil's phonics level using Read Write Inc.
