Each block includes the study of key spelling concepts. We call them concepts and not rules because there are simply too many exceptions to any pattern for it to be a rule. The curriculum is not built around the rote memorisation of spelling ‘rules’; instead, the focus is building on what pupils have learnt about the alphabetic code through Phonics lessons and teaching them to seek patterns and reason about how to spell new or unfamiliar words. The spelling concepts included in CUSP Spelling are much further reaching than the National Curriculum programme of study for Spelling. The statutory concepts are included in the long-term sequence but these are paired with the study of etymology and morphology, a focus on common misconceptions, learning about self-correction and reasoning about spelling attempts. This ensures that pupils become competent spellers and that they develop the independence to identify and correct errors in their independent writing. Each concept is taught, revisited and consolidated throughout the curriculum so that pupils master this learning and commit it to the long-term memory.

These words often contain unusual letter combinations or do not conform to the phonetic patterns that children learn in early education. Mastering these words is crucial for developing reading fluency and comprehension, as they form the foundation of many sentences and texts. Please support your child in learning to read and spell these words by the end of Year 5.
