Spelling
Early spelling is taught through the use of ‘Fred Talk’ and ‘Fred Fingers’ to count out the sounds in words. Children have daily sound lessons to embed and apply their learning of phonics to spell words through RWI.
Children are familiar with these words as they form the ‘red words’ in Read, Write Inc. Here at Fordbridge, we also utilise the ‘Spelling Shed’ resource in Key Stage Two to plan and deliver additional spelling sessions. These resources provide challenging, competitive weekly spelling activities matched to key curriculum spelling patterns and word lists.
