Learners choose between two spellings, complete accessible sentences and match words to their meanings. This level supports spelling recognition and vocabulary development.

⚪ Circle – developing independence

Learners discriminate between three spelling choices, complete contextual sentences and correct misspelt words in full sentences.

⬜ Square – further practice and challenge

Learners work with three spelling choices, varied sentence contexts and independent proofreading. Circle and Square use comparable activity formats with different applications of the same 15 focus words.

🎯 Curriculum and assessment relevance

These foundational literacy skills are also useful when preparing for spelling and language questions encountered in SATs and NAPLAN. This resource is not officially endorsed by, affiliated with or represented as aligned to either assessment programme.
