Last week, children were given a list of words to learn. I asked children to evidence their learning in their spelling books. Three children in particular really stood out.
Lori and Nicky showed that they had definitely been practising their spellings…
And so did Pia…
It’s important to remember that different children learn in different ways. What you see here may not work for your child. However, what I really like about these examples is that the children have actively engaged with the process of learning their spellings. They haven’t just learnt them by rote for a test. It’s likely that these children will have learnt these spellings for life. These children are also demonstrating that they have learnt how they learn best – this is a huge predictor of future of success. Well done to everyone in Year 5, especially Pia, Nicky and Lori.
