Guided reading and the new spelling contract

This week we started using a new spelling idea I borrowed from Kippax Greenfield Primary School.

The Spelling Contract has lots of suggested activities that are worth points. These points are combined to equal an amount the teacher sets. Together we decided each person had to earn 20 points by the end of the week.

Here are the children in action

First group to use the new spelling contract


Reading own reading material

Guided group with Mrs Warner - reading Children in WWII

Jotting down a useful website address

Activity 11: Ladder 

Activity 14: Write an antonym for each spelling

Activity 6: Draw a picture to help you remember the word

Thank you to Mrs Ransome at Kippax Greenfield Primary School for sharing your fabulous idea.

    1. Tell me about the activities you decided to work on. How many points do you still need to gain?

  3. The spelling contract sounds like a fantastic idea and I'm interested to find out what you all think about it. Being able to spell is so important in everyday life but sometimes spelling activities can be rather repetitive, so having a variety of activities around spelling will make it more interesting, which in turn will make the words easier to learn.
