Strand Quick Find

Year 6 - Word structure and spelling

Blue emphasised text signifies end-of-year (EOY) objectives within Mathematics and Early Learning Goals (ELG) within Foundation Stage. In Years 1 to 6, Literacy does not have end-of-year (EOY) objectives.

Note
Some of the spelling objectives appear in both strands 5 and 6. This reflects that phonics should be the prime approach children use in both learning to read and learning to spell. The objectives in strand 6 also cover the wider approaches children need to learn and deploy to spell words accurately.

  • Spell familiar words correctly and employ a range of strategies to spell difficult and unfamiliar words
  • Use a range of appropriate strategies to edit, proofread and correct spelling in their own work, on paper and on screen
