Year 1 Autumn Spelling Resources – SPaG Scheme
Access everything you need to teach spelling effectively this term with our Year 1 Autumn Spelling Resources, fully aligned with the National Curriculum and the Mrs Mactivity SPaG scheme. These differentiated resources build fluency, confidence and independence in spelling and handwriting while following the Year 1 Spelling Strand – Autumn Term Lesson Plans and Rationale.
Each week focuses on a specific spelling rule, sound or pattern, supported by a consistent teaching sequence and practice materials. This complete pack includes:
- Weekly Spelling Lists for each focus (including Year 1 common exception words) – ideal for classwork or take-home practice
- Trace and Write Sheets to reinforce accurate letter formation and handwriting fluency
- Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check Sheets for repeated daily practice and recall
- Spelling Activity Cards with engaging methods such as rainbow spellings, pyramid spellings and magnetic spellings – perfect for independent tasks or interventions
Designed by experienced teachers, these spelling resources fit easily into your weekly routine and support regular practice through a clear structure. They can be used alongside dictation passages and handwriting sheets included in the wider Year 1 Autumn Spelling Strand.
Combine these resources with the full SPaG scheme for seamless progression in spelling, punctuation and grammar from Year 1 to Year 6.
