Spelling Strand Year 1 – Spring Term – Accompanying Spelling Resources

Year 1 Spring spelling resources

Access everything you need to teach spelling effectively with our Year 1 Spring spelling resources. Designed to accompany the Year 1 Spring spelling overview and rationale, these differentiated resources help pupils develop confidence in spelling, handwriting and accurate transcription while following a clear weekly teaching sequence.

Each week focuses on a specific spelling pattern, sound or rule from the Year 1 National Curriculum, including split digraphs, alternative spellings, common exception words, days of the week and suffixes. This complete resource pack gives pupils regular opportunities to practise, revisit and apply their weekly spellings at school and at home.

What’s included?

• Weekly spelling lists for each Spring focus, including Year 1 common exception words where appropriate
• Trace and write sheets to support handwriting, spelling practice and accurate letter formation
• Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check sheets for repeated practice and recall across the week
• Spelling activity cards with practice ideas such as rainbow spelling, pyramid spelling and magnetic spelling
