What is Spelling Shed?

Spelling Shed is an online platform and scheme of work that uses games and activities to help children
learn multiple methods for approaching spelling. This means teaching strategies rather than simply
memorising words. It’s designed to be engaging and motivating, helping children build confidence in their
spelling abilities.

Your child has been given a login to access Spelling Shed. You can find the website here:

Why are we using Spelling Shed?

 Spelling Shed is a valuable resource for your child, providing them with:

• Multiple spelling strategies: Lessons use orthography, etymology, morphology and phonology when
breaking down the spellings of words and focusing on spelling patterns.

• Targeted practice: Teachers assign specific spelling patterns to pupils to practise. Mastery Zone also
presents spelling patterns personalised to children’s needs.

• Increased confidence: Children choose their game difficulty to build their confidence and the game
platform promotes engagement and motivation.

How can you help at home?
