Spelling Rule Posters for Years 5 and 6 (Full Version)

Year 5 and 6 A3 spelling rule posters for the new curriculum.

These posters are great for displaying on your working wall. Additionally, in light of spelling now being assessed within writing, it is more important than ever that children are competent spellers. These posters are therefore great for just general displaying so that the children can refer to them when proofreading for spelling mistakes.

Included in the full version:
· /shus/ endings spelt –cious or –tious
· /shul/ endings spelt –cial or –tial
· Endings spelt –ant/–ance/–ancy or –ent/–ence/–ency 1
· Endings spelt –ant/–ance/–ancy or –ent/–ence/–ency 2
· Endings spelt –able/–ably or –ible/–ibly 1
· Endings spelt –able/–ably or –ible/–ibly 2
· Adding suffixes that begin with vowels to words ending in –fer
· Use of the hyphen
· Words with the /ee/ sound spelt ei after c
· Words containing ough

I made these off the back of advice I received from my LA at a writing moderation twilight. At this meeting, it was strongly recommended that spelling rules be displayed within the classroom to allow children to be resourceful when proofreading for spelling mistakes. They stressed that it does not matter if a child is not secure on the Y5 & 6 spelling rules: what does matter is that they know how to go about spelling these types of words correctly. These posters are therefore great for children to refer to during the proofreading process.

There is usually 8 or so words used as examples for each rule. I've tried to make sure that these words are the most popular/common for that rule, and so even if a child looks at the posters and does not know how to apply the rules to words they're unsure about, the chances are the word they're after is actually on one of the posters – all that's left to do is copy it!

I've left the file as a word document as it kept going all strange when I tried to convert it to PDF!
