ESSENTIALspelling KS2
ESSENTIALspelling is a whole class approach to teaching spelling that enables all children to succeed and gives teachers the unique tools to make that happen. The resource comprises: a year’s worth of detailed planning sequences; full explanations of the learning behind the teaching; ideas for activities; resources to help teachers deliver the sessions. Every sequence tracks back to review prior linked learning, enabling children to build on the foundations of previous year groups, and assisting teachers to identify gaps in learning. Every sequence shows teachers how to support the children who have gaps, as well as how to provide challenge and build new skills where needed. And, every sequence helps make spelling fun!
Also available individally - Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6.
