On Monday your child will be allocated a spelling group following a Spelling Shed diagnostic assessment last week.
Spellings are taught in school using an investigative approach and can also be practised at home using Spelling Shed and/or on the sheet sent home on a Monday in the homework folder.
Spellings are tested weekly on a Friday.
