Spelling Book 6: Year 6, Ages 10-11

Excellent to cover all the tricky spellings for the 11 plus preparation, laid out in a very effective manner.

My son is confident with his spelling. This book could be a good challenge for him.

Great book with useful exercises for challenging learners. Very helpful in supporting learning.

KS2 SATs papers are taken by children during May of Year 6 as part of the National Curriculum assessment programme. Children are between 10 and 11 years of age.This title affords Broad building blocks, which should build on children's phonic knowledge and offers first-rate preparation for the national tests. Phonics focuses on sounds rather than, for example, having children try to recognise whole words.In analytic phonics, words are broken down into their beginning and end parts, such as ‘str-‘ and ‘eet’, with an emphasis on ‘seeing’ the words and analogy with other words. In synthetic phonics, children start by sequencing the individual sounds in words - for example, ‘s-t-r-ee-t’, with an emphasis on blending them together.The ‘synthetic’ part comes from the word ‘synthesise’, meaning to assemble or blend together. Children who learn using synthetic phonics are able to have a go at new words working from sound alone, whereas those using analytic phonics are more dependent on having prior knowledge of families of words.This title then is concise but then again readable format, the layout is well done and to the point.
