Year 1 Spring spelling resources – SPaG scheme
Access everything you need to teach spelling effectively with our Year 1 spring 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 – Spring 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 resource 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 practice and recall across the week
- Spelling activity cards with varied practice ideas such as rainbow spelling, pyramid spelling and magnetic spelling – ideal 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 Spring spelling strand.
Combine these resources with the full SPaG scheme for consistent coverage of spelling, punctuation and grammar from Year 1 to Year 6.
