Across Key Stage 2 we follow Monster Phonics Superhero Spelling.  A cast of superheroes and powerful memory cues help pupils learn key spelling rules and concepts. 

Each week consists of three core phases: Learn, Build and Show.  At the start of the week, the pupils will receive their weekly spelling words and work on the rules that apply to these words (plus any that don't!)

In Year 6, the pupils are given 15 spellings, generated by themselves in class sessions, and an additional 5 spellings, from the Year 5/6 Spelling List in the National Curriculum, each week. 

Pupils are expected to:

• write each spelling out
• write each spelling into sentences to show that they understand the meaning of each spelling 
• then investigate if there are any rules to support understanding.  For example: When a word that ends in 'f' becomes a plural, you drop the 'f' and add 'ves'.
