Spellings

At the beginning of each week your child will be sent home with spellings based on the sounds and tricky words they will learn in phonics that week.
The spellings will link to the mats above as well as “tricky words” (words which cannot be spelt using phonics).

They are sent on a Monday and then tested the following Monday.
