Spelling  

'Of course words are magic. That's why they call it spelling.' BH

How we teach Spelling

At Marlborough, spelling is explicitly taught twice a week for 30 minutes from Year 2 to Year 6 once children have mastered and secured their phonics learning. 

We follow the Spelling Shed scheme which teaches a weekly spelling rule to the children; they are tested every week. Children then have the opportunity to apply this knowledge through a range of activities and games. 

Each child has a log in and can access Spelling Shed at home to practice their spellings.  

Below are overviews for Year 2 - Year 6: 

Children are expected to log onto Spelling Shed at least three times per week for 10 minutes.
