Year 6 Summer spelling resources

Consolidate and extend pupils’ spelling knowledge with our Year 6 Summer spelling resources, fully aligned with the National Curriculum and designed to complement the Year 6 Summer SPaG scheme. The Summer sequence combines focused teaching with planned consolidation and review, helping pupils secure key spelling patterns before the end of Key Stage 2.

Each weekly unit includes a Spelling Rules PowerPoint, spelling list, Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check sheet, handwriting practice, dictation activity and spelling test. Together, these resources provide a clear weekly structure while allowing teachers to adjust the pace and amount of practice to suit their pupils.
