Did you know?

 

• Nearly 50% of English words are predictable based on sound-letter correspondences alone (e.g., clap, ditch, toy). An additional 37% of the more common words are almost predictable except for one sound
• Only 4% of words in the English language are truly irregular.

 

Many schools use approaches to teaching spelling that are suitable for the 4% of words (irregular words), however, research tells us to focus on the regularities of written English and this requires a different approach- Let Support for Spelling show you how. 

Helping you get it right

 Have you tried various spelling programmes but struggled to see the impact on children's spelling?

 

Support for Spelling gives schools an effective professional development package and a research-informed progressive structure for teaching spelling (Y2-6 or as a KS3 intervention). Importantly, flexibility is built into the approach so that implementation is achievable for all schools. Get in touch to find out how it can work well in your school.
