Year 1 Autumn Term Spellings - Worksheet

This Year 1 spelling worksheet is tailored for Term 1 and is designed to help children master the statutory spelling patterns and words for their level. The exercise involves reading sentences aloud 2-3 times to give children the opportunity to listen and then transcribe what they've heard. The focus is on writing the sentences as neatly and accurately as possible. To encourage attention to detail, marks are awarded for the correct use of a capital letter at the start of the sentence, the accurate spelling of the bold word within the sentence, and the inclusion of a full stop at the end.

The worksheet includes a list of SPELLINGS DICTATION SENTENCES, which feature key words that the children need to learn. These sentences, such as "The rocket blasted off." and "You did very well in your test.", are simple and clear, enabling the children to focus on the spelling of particular words like 'off' and 'well'. There are 15 sentences to transcribe, each with a different target word to spell correctly. Additionally, there is a CHALLENGE sentence for those who are ready to extend their learning: "The rabbit ate the carrot in its hutch." The worksheet concludes with a list of the AUTUMN SPELLINGS that the children are expected to learn, which includes words such as 'off', 'buzzing', 'bank', 'thunder', and 'home'.
