Here is a collection of comments made by parents about spelling. Some really interesting and perceptive comments that we'll take on board. I totally agree that spellings learnt for a test that aren't applied is not the best way of teaching and learning spelling!
I believe
the spellings are only learnt for the test
Happy with
this
Spelling is
improving
Improvement
in basic words rather than just learning words for a test and forgetting them
Tests cause
anxiety. A week isn’t enough to consolidate a pattern
It’s
annoying when they practise a word and are not tested
Very good
All good
Difficult
initially but we’ve got into a good routine now
Learning 6
spellings a week is adequate for now
Good but not
always a happy activity
More
relevant spelling in context rather than a random mix of words
Like having
a separate sheet
Grateful for
the little sheet
Hard to
encourage our child to practice
Seems to
enjoy the act of writing rather than the accuracy
Always happy
to do it
I like the
way they are grouped into certain sounds
Really
pleased with the spellings but I’m unsure how well my child is doing
Some of the
words aren’t written clear enough to understand or copy
Feedback on
test scores would be appreciated
I never know
when my child has spellings
Could
children have a notebook to practise their spellings instead of sheets that get
lost?
