Spelling Challenge Cards Level 6-9 Level 6 and Level 7 = Y3/4 statutory words Level 8 and Level 9 = Y5/6 statutory words These follow on from the KS1 spelling bundle also in my TES store. Each challenge card is split into bronze, silver and gold (these aren’t progressive, they just offer milestones) Children take the sheets home and practice the words. When they are confident they can spell them, the parents cut the relevant slip off the bottom and send it in to say they are ready to be tested! Teachers can test all/ a random sample of the words to validate. Each level has bronze, silver and gold certs. Each time a child gets a cert, we offer 3 raffle tickets (in the bundle) and 2 house points (you can add your own rewards!). We will run a termly raffle to win £20!
