Description
Schofield & Sims Spelling is a structured and rigorous programme designed for Key Stages 1 and 2 and also suitable for some older students. Comprising six pupil books and an accompanying teacher’s guide and teacher’s resource book, this comprehensive series builds on pupils’ phonics knowledge while also helping them to understand how word structure and meaning can help them to spell words. Each Spelling pupil book:
systematically introduces spelling conventions and revises those already taught
explores word structure and the relationship between words of shared origin
suggests strategies for remembering common ‘exception words’ (also known as ‘tricky words’)
teaches pupils how to monitor and correct their own spelling
encourages pupils to write sentences from memory or dictation
contains answers to all the questions in the back of the book.
Spelling Book 2 supports the National Curriculum requirements for Year 2 and covers the following topic areas: segmenting words into phonemes and selecting the correct spelling alternatives; learning new ways to spell phonemes (for example, the silent letters ‘kn’, ‘wr’); distinguishing between homophones; adding prefixes and suffixes to spell longer words (for example, un-, dis-, -ful, -less); applying rules for adding suffixes (for example, -ed, -ing, -er, -y, -s, -es); learning spelling guidelines (for example, ‘the w special’).
