The main aim of our Key Stage 1 spelling worksheets is to introduce the foundations of spelling, and teach your child some of the most common rules and exceptions. Our year 1 spelling worksheets and year 2 spelling worksheets cover common consonant digraphs, vowel digraphs, split digraphs and trigraphs, and some common tricky words. Your child should be taught how to identify some common spelling patterns, how to spell words ending in some more difficult letter combinations and test their knowledge with a range of fun spelling activities.
Key Stage 2 spelling worksheets help your child to consolidate their previous knowledge, and introduce some new concepts and aspects of spelling. Year 3 spelling worksheets will cover some more common difficult words, and introduce the idea of ‘word families’. Spelling words beginning with ‘C’ and ‘K’ are covered in our year 4 spelling worksheets, alongside spelling words with ‘ck’ and two syllable words containing adjacent consonants. Year 5 spelling worksheets begin to investigate spelling words with silent letters, improving your child’s dictionary skills and knowing the ‘i before e’ rule. Year 6 spelling worksheets give your child some tricks for spelling tricky words, encourage them to use a range of different suffixes, and use knowledge of etymology and morphology to help spell words.
By the time your child reaches Key Stage 3 spelling worksheets, they should have a good understanding of spelling rules, and how to spell most of the common tricky words that crop up in the English language. Our year 7 spelling worksheets help your child to avoid more common spelling errors, and revise their understanding of some of their previous knowledge.
Year 8 spelling worksheets focus heavily on revising commonly misspelt words to try and iron out common mistakes, and our year 9 spelling worksheets revise more difficult spelling rules, how to spell mathematical terms and common geographical terms. Using a range of spelling activities and spelling tests, your child should feel confident in their ability to spell a variety of common and more difficult words independently.
