Guidance for use
Progression in Spelling
(encoding)
Practitioner should judge the
point at which their class and individual children should begin the programme
Select five words a day to
work with; teaching children how to put sounds together to make words; going
from left to right (encoding)
Together as a class use each
word in a sentence. Children can then read these independently later
In addition to this
programme, children should be given a period for uninterrupted silent reading
at KS2. KS1 and EYFS should share stories, poems and rhymes daily and children
given a poem or rhyme per week to memorise. Daily handwriting practice is also
recommended
NB: Early EAL and
SEN pupils will be operating outside their Letters & Sounds phases or year
group. Please refer to their individual IEP.
