At Pyrford, spelling is an integral part of writing. We intend our school leavers to be accurate spellers, when writing for a variety of audiences and purposes. In order for children to be successful spellers, we believe they need to develop the skills of proof-reading and editing.

Spelling at home

Spelling Shed's approach to spelling involves the relationship between sounds and written symbols as well as using morphology to help spell through meaning.

The carefully selected word lists and engaging activities provide opportunities to incorporate phonics and meaning to strengthen spelling skills and build vocabulary acquisition.
