Autumn Term Spelling Progress Test 1

The Spelling Progress Test 1 is a tool designed for Year 6 students during the Autumn term to assess their spelling skills. The test comprises a series of sentences with missing words that the students are required to listen to and complete. The teacher will read out each sentence, including the missing word, and then repeat it to ensure clarity. Students must write the correct spelling of the missing word on the provided line without sharing their answers with their peers.

Each correctly spelled word earns the student a mark, which contributes to their total score for the test. The sentences cover a range of words that are likely to challenge the students' spelling abilities. For example, they may need to spell words that describe conditions such as 'state', words that denote encouragement like 'encourage', or words that represent actions and objects such as 'whistle', 'honest', 'practice', 'travelling', 'weapon', 'pleasure', 'biscuit', and 'flame'. The test is an effective way to gauge progress in spelling and to identify areas where further learning and practice may be needed.
