Spelling Success: Class 5

Spelling Success provides an integrated method of teaching phonics, spelling and vocabulary.

Book 5 provides students with user-friendly activities to master and develop spelling skills for this vital year of education. It is during this year that students first experience the complexities of the way we form words using letters in a correct sequence. They develop strategies for using sounds and visual patterns to help them strengthen and reinforce their knowledge, building up a comprehensive supply of ready words for written work.

Each term is divided into the four areas of knowledge needed to develop a comprehensive mastery of spelling:

Phonological Knowledge — how words sound

Word Function Knowledge — how word function can change spelling

Meaning Knowledge — how context can change word form

Word History Knowledge — how words have been derived

Well known author Peter Clutterbuck has written many best-selling resources for primary schools, including Spelling Success. The Spelling Success series incorporates all of the proven strategies he has developed over many years to produce a workbook series that is well planned, purposeful and guaranteed to deliver successful outcomes in spelling.
