Spelling
Help children succeed with spelling
Read Write Inc. Spelling moves seamlessly on from Phonics to teach children to spell in just 15 minutes a day.
It is for children in Years 2 to 6 (P3–7) who have completed Read Write Inc. Phonics and who have met the English National Curriculum expectations for reading in Year 2.
Why is Read Write Inc. Spelling so successful?
- The programme is constructed around direct teaching and consolidated through partner practice.
- Snappy 15-minute lessons mean you can fit the programme into your timetable when it suits you.
- Children learn the routines for each spelling activity so they can then focus on what matters most – learning to spell.
- Little planning is needed. Teachers use an engaging Practice Zone to teach new concepts.
- Children practise using partner and team practice, for example, the popular ‘Four-in-a-row’ game and ‘Team Teach’.
- Assessment is built into each weekly unit so you know which spelling concepts children need to revise.
The programme’s core activities teach:
- alternative spellings of vowels
- alternative spellings of consonants
- homophones
- the impact of adding prefixes and suffixes to root words
- spelling plural nouns
- ‘silent’ letters
- unusual letter strings
- word families.
It includes all the spelling requirements of the English National Curriculum.
