Spelling
Moving on from phonics, children begin to look at spelling patterns and rules. Spelling lessons are taught discretely to practise these concepts at least twice a week.
At Bransty, we use the No Nonsense Spelling Programme from Year 2 upwards. The focus of this programme is the teaching of spelling, which embraces knowledge of spelling conventions – patterns and rules and there is also the opportunity to promote the learning of spellings, including statutory words, common exceptions and personal spellings.
