The Spelling Book – Transforming the Teaching of Spelling

Stop testing spelling and start teaching it. The Spelling Book is not another scheme; it’s a research‑informed method that brings the wonder of words to life.

Each year‑specific book (Y2–Y6) guides you through daily investigations and weekly revision activities rooted in phonics, morphology and etymology. Lessons encourage creativity and curiosity while providing the structure you need to cover national curriculum fundamentals.

Why teachers love it

• Quickly plan purposeful spelling sessions using daily investigations and weekly revision cycles.

• Build confident spellers through explicit teaching of phonics and morphology rather than memorisation
  

• Encourage exploration and problem‑solving with investigations, mini‑tests and independent tasks.

• Monitor progress easily with built‑in assessment check‑points and opportunities for reflection.

“For too long, spelling instruction has been dominated by endless spelling lists and a limiting reliance on ‘look-cover-write-check’. In The Spelling Book, Jane Considine crashes through the dull confines of past spelling approaches to offer a book packed full of spelling approaches and activities. For time-poor teachers stuck for ideas, these year by year spelling books offer useful and practical support.”
