Objectives
• 6 objectives to be covered each year • 2 objectives each term• 1 objective each half term • Plus misconceptions and errors
Teaching Sequence
Step 1: Revisit, Explain, Use
Step 2: Teach, Model, Define
Step 3: Practise, Explore, Investigate
Step 4: Apply, Assess and Reflect
Differentiation

Spelling in KS2
Morphological knowledge(horse = 1 morpheme, horses =2
morphemes)• Root words (elephant, table, girl, day)• Compound words (2 root words combined
