Spelling
From September 2022, children at Blaise will be learning to spell with Read Write Inc. Spelling, a systematic spelling programme for children in years 2–6. Please note that Year 2 will start slightly later in the year.
Read, Write Inc Spelling is a systematic spelling programme which is built around a series of short, progressive activities that the children take part in daily. Throughout the programme, there is the opportunity for teacher led activities, paired work and independent work.

Spelling at home
Spelling homework should consist of using the Extra Practice Zone a few times a week and learning termly ‘tricky words’ or ‘curriculum words’ sent home by the Class Teacher.

Please ask your child's Class Teacher for a log in if you have not already received one.
