Spelling

Starting in the Early Years and being completed by the majority of children in Year two, RWI supports children to write every day, rehearsing out loud what they want to say before spelling the words using graphemes and the "tricky" words they know.

At Shakespeare from Year 2 to 6, we have adopted RWI spelling for the following reasons:

• To ensure the spelling expectations of the National Curriculum 2014 are met
• To raise standards in spelling
• To provide consistency and progression in the teaching of spelling
• To help support children to enable them to be more confident at spelling. 

How does this programme support your child in learning to spell?

RWInc Spelling is an interactive programme which teaches spellings in a fun and engaging way. Each unit is introduced with a short video. It helps children to learn spellings with common patterns and uses rules in order to help them recall spellings as well as teaching exceptions to these rules.  During daily spelling lessons, children will engage is a range of spelling activities.
