Based on the look, say, cover, write, check system, this booklet is Term two of three which will take spellings tests throughout the entire academic year. Each week has a different topic and gives pupils three chances to check their spellings of each word. Also attached are the spelling slips for the 12 weeks of this terms booklet, in order for your print the weeks' spellings out and give them to pupils a week before their test. The booklet also allows you to easily keep track of scores with a big score counter in the corner and allows an observer to recognise whether you have awarded commendations/merits (whatever you use!)
