KS2 SATs Spelling Practice - Test 6 (Age 9-12) - Teacher Notes

Spelling Practice Papers - Test 6 is a resource tailored for children aged 9-12 to enhance their spelling skills in preparation for their SATs, which are standardised tests taken by 11-year-olds in the UK. These practice papers are designed to reflect the types of spelling tests that pupils encounter during their SATs and are aligned with the National Curriculum's requirements. The selection of words within each workbook is representative of those commonly found in the SATs for Year 6 students, ensuring relevant and targeted practice.

The workbooks encompass a variety of word types and spelling challenges to provide comprehensive practice. These include prefixes, various endings, homophones, and words containing silent letters. Additionally, children will encounter words with the soft 'g' sound, as in 'ge', 'gi', and 'gy', as well as words ending in '...able', '...ible', and '...ure'. The practice tests also cover spellings that involve complex letter combinations such as 'ei', 'eigh', 'ey', and the 'ch' sound in words like 'parachute'. To further support spelling mastery, the workbooks include words with suffixes like 'ous' and silent 'o', along with word endings such as 'ant', 'ence', 'ancy', 'ent', 'ably', 'ibly', 'tion', 'sion', 'ssion', and 'cian'. This diverse range of spelling patterns helps to build a solid foundation for the pupils' spelling abilities.
