Spring Term Spelling Assessment Term 1

The Y5 Spring Term Spelling Assessment Term 1 is a tool designed to evaluate the spelling proficiency of Year 5 students. The assessment is conducted under specific instructions to ensure fairness and accuracy. Students are required to listen attentively as their teacher reads out sentences, each with a missing word that they must identify and write down correctly. The teacher will provide the sentence and the missing word twice to allow students to confirm their answers. Pupils are reminded to keep their answers private, avoiding any sharing of their sheets with classmates.

The assessment comprises a total of ten sentences, each with a blank space where a word is to be filled in. The words range from simple to more challenging spellings, aiming to test various aspects of the students' spelling capabilities. For instance, they may be asked to spell words that represent different parts of speech such as adjectives, nouns, and verbs. The scoring section at the bottom of the sheet allows for the tallying of the total marks achieved by each student. This assessment, provided by KS2Gems, is a valuable resource for teachers to gauge the spelling skills of their students at the beginning of the term and to identify areas that may require additional focus or reinforcement.
