Spelling Shed - The Science of Spelling!

Parkview Primary School follows the Spelling Shed scheme for spelling. This scheme was chosen as it is based on cutting-edge research into the teaching of spelling. Spelling Shed's approach to spelling involves the relationship between sounds and written symbols as well as using morphology to help spell through meaning. This is a progressive model, using interactive computing games, allowing consolidation and regular opportunities to recap on previous learning. 

There are some words which cannot be taught using normal spelling rules. You will see these below:
