Most schools will have a carefully chosen phonics scheme in place.
We provide the below resources to supplement these schemes and to ensure comprehensive coverage of the appendix to the national curriculum.
Rather than prescribing a week-by-week spelling scheme in Year 1, the contents of the appendix to the national curriculum for year 1 students has been broken down into 41 lists. These lists should complement all phonics schemes of works and allow teachers to use in any order appropriate to their phonics scheme of work. We do provide spelling assessments corresponding to Lists 1-14, Lists 15-28 and Lists 29-41 for completeness.
We are presently in the process of adding further lists of words following requests by teachers.
1. The sounds /f/ & /s/ spelt ff & ss.
2. The sounds /l/, /z/ and /k/ spelt ll, zz and ck.
