Five to ten spellings a week to learn (starting after half term)
10 spellings a week
Word lists which give a guide to the words children should be able to spell confidently in each age range.

Silent letters e.g. wrong Lots of words are not phonetic…they
can’t be sounded out It can slow down children’s writing or
limit want they want to say

Sounding out using letter sounds, not names.
E.g. c-a-t
sh-o-p
