Spelling

In September 2025, we introduced the scheme Superhero Spelling to support children’s spelling Progression.

The Superhero Spelling Programme is an engaging and dynamic resource that covers the full scope of the 2014 Spelling Curriculum, ensuring  children meet all Key Stage 2 spelling requirements.

Designed to build on from Monster phonics knowledge, it embeds essential spelling rules through fun and memorable activities led by a cast of superheroes and powerful memory cues. Each lesson is interactive, with a mix of age-appropriate activities that promote active learning. Children also benefit from partner work and talk time to reinforce their learning.

Weekly lessons follow the sequence: Learn, Build, and Show

Children receive 10 weekly spelling words each week.

Weekly dictation sentences integrate these spelling words, offering both practice and a self-check process.

The programme places extra focus on statutory words in weeks 6 and 12 of each term, ensuring a comprehensive understanding. With its powerful blend of visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic approaches, Superhero Spelling makes learning to spell an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
