No Nonsense Spelling Programme

Overview

• This programme provides sufficient guidance for teaching children to spell effectively, focusing on years two to six.

• This spelling programme equips teachers with valuable resources, including five teacher books for each year group and a USB stick with editable materials. These tools help teachers design effective lessons, making spelling instruction engaging and accessible for all children.

• Aligning with national curriculum requirements, the programme aids students in using dictionaries to check spellings and meanings of words. It also enhances their ability to write from memory, aiding lower Key Stage 2. These foundational skills support confident writers who can recall and apply vocabulary and punctuation accurately.

• For upper Key Stage 2, the programme supports drafting and selecting appropriate grammar and vocabulary. This helps children understand how these choices impact their written work. By practising these skills, students develop a deeper understanding of language use, improving their writing proficiency and supporting their academic achievements.
