Spelling Shed - Year 5 Overview

We are pleased to share the Spelling Shed Medium-Term Plan, which outlines the spelling objectives and word lists for the spring term. This structured plan is designed to help Year 5 pupils develop their spelling skills through targeted steps and carefully selected word groups.

Each week, children will focus on specific spelling patterns, rules, and exceptions, including:

• Words with prefixes such as ‘over-’, ‘under-’, and ‘de-’.
• Words with suffixes like ‘-ible’, ‘-able’, and ‘-ibly’.
• Words with silent letters to enhance spelling accuracy.
• Challenge words to extend and deepen vocabulary.

You can use this plan to support your child’s spelling practice at home. Regular practice will help consolidate learning, improve accuracy, and build confidence in their spelling abilities.

Thank you for your continued support in helping your child thrive in their spelling journey!
