Fascinating Fact:

Adding ing can show something is happening now, like jumping.

In KS1 English Spelling (Year 1), a spelling review checks lots of skills together, such as hearing sounds in words, remembering common spellings, and choosing the right letters when you write.

  • Suffix: A group of letters added to the end of a word to make a new word.
  • Tricky word: A common word that is hard to sound out, so you have to learn it.
  • Proofread: To read your writing again to spot mistakes and fix them.
What is a spelling review in Year 1?

A spelling review in Year 1 is a short check of different spelling skills, like sounding out words, remembering tricky words, and using spelling rules taught in class.

How can I help my Year 1 child improve spelling?

You can help by practising a few words each day, reading together, saying the sounds in simple words, and praising careful writing, even when a child makes mistakes.

What should my child do if they are not sure how to spell a word?

If a child is unsure, they can say the word slowly, listen for each sound, try a spelling that matches those sounds, and then check it by rereading the sentence.
