Supporting your child with Spelling

These leaflet contain Lists from the Essential Words for Writing and Spelling lists. They are some of the 290 words that are used most often in children’s writing. Because they are used so often, it is very important that your child learns to use and to spell each one to ensure fluent writing, confidence and success with writing.

The leaflet also contains a flow chart as a suggested way to help your child learn these words. There are also some other fun ways to learn these words on the back page.
