Spelling Bee mats

Spelling Bee mats for KS2 (Year 3 - 6, ages 7 - 11). The Spelling Bee mats link to the UK National Curriculum and the No Nonsense Spelling scheme. They can be used as stand alone resources to support the teaching and learning of spellings within school.

Each mat contains a set of words that cover the spelling rules that must be taught within that key stage/ year group. There are ‘golden’ or ‘honey’ words that are directly from the statutory word list for the year group.

The aim is that the mats help focus teaching and learning. Over a term, the children will learn the words both in school and as homework. They will be regularly ‘quizzed’ on 5 - 10 of the words to test recall and identify words or spelling rules that may need further coverage. At the end of the term, all of the words on the mat will be tested across a few days. This will identify gaps in learning, spelling rules that need to be revisited and further opportunities for application.

The mats can be bought for individual year groups or as one bundle, saving money.
