In Year 6, pupils are assessed on their spelling ability in a Key Stage Two
test (SATs). Below is a table of spelling rules that are taught in previous years
and revisited in year 6. Year 6 children are expected to know these rules and be
able to use them consistently.
Spelling is not only a matter of simply learning to spell and write a few words
each week – it requires an understanding of how word sounds are built up from
letters. It also makes the process of writing easier, since spelling becomes
intuitive, allowing children to use ambitious vocabulary. |
