I have compiled the list of National Curriculum Spellings for Years 3 and 4 and created a bank of short spelling sessions. This resource is designed to encourage children to understand the origin of spellings and help create meaning for spelling sessions. Each spelling has at least two slides/pages and I have defined, explored and used fun facts to make spelling more memorable. Some spellings come with a short jotter task. This is Term 1 I have broken them down into terms which should ensure that the word list is covered over the year. The resource is alphabetical and covers spellings A-C. I have created this resource in PDF and Activ Inspire Format.
