In the KS2 SATs, children are tested on spelling rules from Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6. On the attachment below, you will find an outline of each of the spelling rules, as well as words that meet the criteria of the rule. Over the next few weeks, it would be helpful for your child if they could discuss different spelling patterns at home and practice some of the words that may potentially be in the SATs test.
If you have any questions please ask a member of the Year 6 Staff Team. Thank you
