Supporting Spelling
At Clee Hill Academy, children will be encouraged to explore a wide range of vocabulary therefore developing a deeper understanding and more accurate and precise use of spelling within their written work.
At both key stage 1 and key stage 2, children are assessed on their spelling not only in the Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Test, but also as a key factor in their writing.
In school, we are working hard to help your children to learn more about words in lots of ways:
- spelling rules;
- strategies to help them remember words/ patterns;
- playing games - learning through repetition;
- online games;
- applying spelling in their writing.
