KS2 year 5 and 6 spelling list in preparation for SATs

I have compiled a list of words that are from the Spelling National Curriculum for year 5 and 6. All words have either come up in previous SAT’s exams, are likely to come up or involve sound chunks that will appear in the spelling exam. Either way, the children can really benefit from doing a spelling test a week using this resource. The first few pages contain prefixes, suffixes, homophones and many other spelling techniques that the children will often be exposed to.
I have used this in my class to recap the children’s spellings and it has improved their ability to spell around root words. They know how to spell prefixes and suffixes a whole lot better and it hasn’t overwhelmed them as there aren’t too many words in each column.
I would definitely recommend this as a quick spelling test/starter with the class!
There are a total of 10 pages which gives you 70 week’s worth of spelling test :)
