Statutory Spelling List 3 Presentation

The 'Statutory Spelling List 3 Presentation' is an educational resource created by KS2Gems in 2020, tailored for Year 5 and 6 students. The aim of the presentation is to assist students in learning to spell words that are commonly misspelt. It provides a structured approach to introduce, consolidate, and revise spellings. The presentation includes teacher instructions which suggest various ways to utilise the slides, including whole-class activities where students can write the missing word on whiteboards after a definition and sentence are presented. Additionally, the resource is adaptable for group work, where an adult may lead the activity, and for independent or paired work that students can record in exercise books or on whiteboards.

Contained within the presentation are a variety of activities designed to engage students with the spelling list. These include Sentence Challenges, where students write sentences using the words, and Paragraph Challenges, which encourage them to write a paragraph incorporating the words coherently and interestingly. There are also Anagram Challenges, where students unscramble letters to form the words from the list. The PowerPoint is structured to encourage the use of dictionaries to check word meanings, reinforcing understanding alongside spelling. Some of the words featured in the presentation are 'community', 'competition', 'conscience', 'conscious', 'controversy', 'convenience', 'correspond', 'criticise', 'curiosity', and 'definite'. Each word is explored through definitions and contextual sentences, aiding students in mastering their spellings and usage.
