Support for Spelling Approach is a comprehensive spelling package that enables schools to teach spelling with confidence
Support for Spelling Launched in 2024. After a successful trial period, the full package was made available to the wider market. Early adopters love the resources, guidance, structure and flexibility. Furthermore, they appreciate how sessions easily fit into a busy timetable.
The approach provides them with everything they need in terms of the materials and the subject knowledge needed to build sequences with confidence. Free model sequences are also provided and schools can even buy more prepared sequences to get them going and save even more teacher time.
How should spelling be taught?
1. By teachers who feel confident about what they are teaching and how to teach it.
2. In a way that allows children to explore, talk and share what they notice.
3. Through effective activities that focus on securing spellings in a child's long term memory.
4. By direct teaching focused on effective morphology, orthography and etymology.
5. Through a repetitive and effective structure that enables children to focus on the learning and not activity instructions.
