As pupils move beyond early phonics, they need opportunities to grow as spellers through deeper exploration of how words connect, behave and carry meaning.
This session focuses on helping children shift from relying solely on GPCs to developing a richer understanding of spelling patterns, word families and morphology.
We’ll explore how structured word study strengthens orthographic mapping, supports vocabulary development and helps pupils make informed spelling choices rather than depending on memorisation.
Drawing on approaches used in Pathways to Spell, we’ll look at practical routines that build cumulative knowledge, encourage talk‑rich investigation of words and make spelling feel logical and purposeful.
Join Sian and leave with clear strategies for nurturing confident, curious spellers who understand not just how words are spelled, but why.
