How To Teach Spelling In Primary Schools

How To Teach Spelling In Primary Schools - Aidan Severs Consulting Education Consultant

A couple of years ago I worked with a primary school to help them develop their teaching of spelling. The process of preparing and developing the training course (1 CPD session per half term) resulted in this series of blog posts which I've gathered here for ease of reference.


The first blog post focuses on how spelling should be taught explicitly, particularly by examining spelling patterns: https://www.aidansevers.com/post/the-right-est-way-to-teach-spelling-part-1


The second blog post looks at just what makes English spelling so difficult and highlights the old 'Support for Spelling' document: https://www.aidansevers.com/post/the-right-est-way-to-teach-spelling-part-2

In the third blog post, the focus is on how to give children feedback when teaching spelling: https://www.aidansevers.com/post/the-right-est-way-to-teach-spelling-part-3


The fourth blog post goes into detail about how we learn spellings and how we should teach as a result: https://www.aidansevers.com/post/the-right-est-way-to-teach-spelling-part-4

The final blog post in the series provides some real practical advice about the kinds of activities that can be used in spelling lessons: https://www.aidansevers.com/post/the-right-est-way-of-teaching-spelling-part-5


Looking in my blog drafts folder I actually have another, final blog post to finish off at some point!


Making impactful change in your school can be overwhelming. I know - I've been there myself and have guided many other school leaders through the process. I can help you to build the enriching experience you want for your pupils.


Your 3-step enrichment plan:


  1. Drop me an email

  2. Have a phone call with me to talk about your school

  3. We'll work together to empower you and your staff to enhance teaching and to enrich your pupils' lives


Take a weight off your mind today - let me spin a couple of your plates!
