4 different templates Spelling ladders Teachers/ children add key words they are mis-spelling onto their ladder. This could be a focus on HFW or MFW. The children use this as a mini support/ checklist until they can spell the word correctly and then tick it off/ cross it out. Once the ladder is complete, start a new one!
