A complete programme for teaching spelling, this flexible pack of resources has been created by the Babcock LDP Primary Literacy Team to support teachers from Year 2 to Year 6.

Includes everything you need to implement an effective spelling programme across your school.

Reasons to Love:

• Spelling should be taught, not caught – children need to learn spelling patterns and rules, statutory words, common exceptions and personal spellings. No Nonsense Spelling teaches spelling in a ‘Little-but-often’ structure which allows children to revisit and review, learn new strategies and apply.

• A variety of strategies are suggested so that children with different learning styles can find out what works well for them. Handwriting activities are also included, to develop muscle memory of the spelling pattern.

• The series has clear progression through each year, and is helpful because it splits the work for Years 3 and 4, 5 and 6 into single year groups, building on previous learning.

• Suggestions for homework are adapted for children to use range of strategies, and regular tests can be built in.

• A great resource to ensure a well-managed spelling curriculum – provides teachers notes for each lesson, and a bank of resources.

• A bonus for English Subject Leaders to ensure spelling is taught cohesively throughout the school.
