This Year 5 spelling words pack contains a variety of Upper Key Stage 2 spellings split into different Year 5 spellings patterns. Children can be given sets of word cards and asked to discuss the common spelling patterns, before sorting the cards into groups as part of a spelling game.
These Year 5 spelling games are a hands-on way to revise and improve pupils’ understanding of key spellings, in readiness for Year 5 spelling tests.
