Key words spelling : structured spelling and assessment

This comprehensive resource for teaching and assessing spelling across a wide age and ability range applies the "word families" approach - complementing phonic approaches by focusing on words which "look" but do not necessarily "sound" the same - to words which children themselves most commonly want to "use".

Almost 500 spelling lists provide structured groups of words for pupils to learn; these can be tested and reinforced via spelling tests.

Word lists include common misspellings, irregular plurals and the use of the apostrophe.
