Spelling tests
Daughter is 5. Born right at end of August so is the youngest of her year. She’s currently in Y1. They have assessed her and said her reading,spelling and grammar is brilliant and they are having to put her with Y2 for these for some of the morning each day. Daughter not fazed by it at all.
She just told me she had a spelling test last week for words that we hadn’t been learning. I’m surprised at how complex and big these words are. Even I would have to think about spelling these! |

This is excellent.
It's scary the types of words they now have to spell at a young age, even more scary when secondary age children (and some adults) can't spell basic words (those without additional needs). The reliance on spell check is becoming more apparent. Edited at 03:43 PM. |

Yep like me. I am useless at spelling. Unfortunately it probably won’t be long before she surpasses me.

My dd is in year 2 and excels at reading. Her spellings are based on the 100 frequent words. She can probably do most of with a handful that are tricky, but not are difficult as those words

well done dd
if you look at her attempts you can see she knows how to break down he words by sounding out them out and her spellings are correct in that sense. ds is the same he just gets it and amazes me with some of the words he can spell - he does get really mad when they don't spell how they sound out though. |

It’s a long time since I was five and I have never had a five year old, but they are more difficult words that I would have expected at this age.

To be honest I think the English language is stupid. Things aren’t spelt how they sound at all and it’s difficult trying to explain some words like there and their.
My 4 year old in nursery is doing phonics so “oo” for moon and boot. But ask her to spell look and it’s luk. But we don’t say it as look with the same sound as moon. |
