Learning goals

  • We are learning to use letters and sounds to spell words.
  • We are learning to use letters and sounds, including onset and rime, to spell words.
  • We are learning how to spell one- and two-syllable words with common letter patterns.
  • We are learning how to spell one and two syllable words with common letter patterns.
  • We are learning to use most letter-sound matches including vowel diagraphs, less common long vowel patterns, e.g. ight, consonant clusters and silent letters, e.g. knife, thumb, when reading and writing words of one or more syllables.
  • We are learning to use digraphs, long vowels, blends and silent letters to spell one and two syllable words, including some compound words.
  • We are learning how to read and write high frequency words and use morphemic knowledge of letter patterns and morphemes to spell unfamiliar words.
  • We are learning to understand how to use letter-sound relationships and less common letter patterns to spell words.
  • We are learning to understand how to use letter-sound relationships and less common letter patterns to spell words.
  • We are learning to understand how to use letter patterns, spelling generalisations, morphological word families, affixes and word origins to spell more complex words.
  • We are learning to understand how to use letter patterns, spelling generalisations, morphemic word families, prefixes, suffixes and word origins to spell more complex words.
  • We are learning to read and write a large core of high frequency words and use context to make correct spelling choices, e.g. homophones – know, no.
  • We are learning to use known words, base words, prefixes and suffixes, word origins, letter patterns and spelling generalisations to spell new words.
  • We are learning to use known words, base words, prefixes and suffixes, word origins, letter patterns and spelling generalisations to spell new words.
  • We are learning to use known words, base words, prefixes and suffixes, word origins, letter patterns and spelling generalisations to spell new words including technical words.
  • We are learning to use known words, base words, prefixes and suffixes, word origins, letter patterns and spelling generalisations to spell new words, including technical words.
