Our Year 6 Spring spelling resources complement the grammar and punctuation sequence, helping pupils consolidate statutory spellings while mastering increasingly challenging spelling patterns. The weekly sequence provides regular opportunities to teach, practise and assess spelling, supporting pupils as they build confidence and accuracy across a wide range of writing.
Throughout the Spring term, pupils explore a range of homophones, revisit the Year 5 and 6 statutory spelling list, investigate words ending in -cial and -tial, practise words ending in -ous, -tious and -cious, and revisit words ending in -fer and related forms. Weekly spelling lists, dictation activities, handwriting sheets, Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check sheets and our popular Spelling Rules PowerPoints make it easy to introduce, practise and revisit each spelling focus throughout the term.
