📈 Three differentiated levels

Triangle – lower-ability level

Pupils begin with greater scaffolding. They select correctly spelt words from three options, match six words to their meanings and complete sentences using the appropriate statutory spelling words.

Circle – middle-ability level

Learners choose the correct spelling from two options and write it in context. They then select words from a word bank to complete sentences before writing their own sentences using selected target words.

Square – higher-ability level

Pupils identify and correct misspelt statutory words within complete sentences. They also choose suitable words to complete contextual sentences and independently apply selected words in their own writing.

This progression moves from supported recognition and vocabulary understanding towards proofreading, contextual selection and independent application.

• Identifying common spelling errors
