d. contextual understanding.

Spelling

4) Pupils should be taught:

Spelling strategies

a. to sound out phonemes
b. to analyse words into syllables and other known words
c. to apply knowledge of spelling conventions
d. to use knowledge of common letter strings, visual patterns and analogies
e. to check their spelling using word banks, dictionaries and spellcheckers
f. to revise and build on their knowledge of words and spelling patterns

Morphology

g.the meaning, use and spelling of common prefixes and suffixes
h.the spelling of words with inflectional endings
i.the relevance of word families, roots and origins of words
j.the use of appropriate terminology, including vowel, consonant, homophone and syllable.

SuperSpell 2 Recharged can be used as a resource to help achieve the spelling aspects of the National Curriculum attainment targets for English KS2.

Year 5 Terms 1,2,3

Term 1 Objective
Objective 4 To examine the properties of words ending in vowels other than the letter e

  • words ending with a single consonant preceded by a short vowel double the consonant before adding ing
  • c is usually soft when followed by i, e.g. circus, accident
Objective 5 To investigate words that have common letter strings but different pronunciations, e.g. rough, cough, bough; boot, foot
