Ready-made spelling tests that meet
the demands of the new curriculums
The 2017 grammar, punctuation and spelling SATs reminded us
that content from all year groups is assessed, not just year’s 2
and 6. For success in these assessments, children need to
embed their GPS understanding progressively each year.
•
•
Save time with 30 ready-made tests per year.
•
•
Ensure weekly progression and coverage of
the new national curriculum word lists
plus many more.
•
•
Consolidate classroom teaching with
tests based around spelling rules.
Simple tests to practise dictation skills
New Curriculum Dictation Tests
have been developed to ensure all children
are able to write from memory simple sentences dictated by the teacher,
as required by the new English programme of study. The Teacher’s Book for
Years 1–6 contains 15 dictation tasks per year. Audio versions of all tests
are available online via My Rising Stars, as well as a downloadable PDF of
the Teacher’s Book for every teacher in your school.
