Why is spelling valued at Great Harwood Primary?

Spelling is a key part of becoming a successful writer. We value the teaching and learning of spelling since it…

• Helps children to write more fluently, allowing them to dedicate more of their energies towards creative writing

• Gives pupils strategies to attempt to understand unfamiliar words, enriching their vocabulary

• Gives children the opportunity to investigate and understand the meaning of words

• Develops confident writers

• Develops confident readers
