Stronger Spelling without testing.
Our Skip into Spelling resources are designed to make spelling an exciting, meaningful, and effective experience for children. With a range of engaging activities, Skip into Spelling brings spelling to life through investigations, retrieval practice, and games.
What is Skip into Spelling?
Skip Into Spelling is an engaging and practical spelling programme that takes an investigation-based approach to teaching spelling. Designed by experienced educators, it helps children explore how words work, making spelling more meaningful and accessible.
Through fun and interactive activities, learners discover the origins and meanings of words, as well as the relationships between them. By breaking words down into morphemes—prefixes, suffixes, and root words—children can expand their vocabulary and make smart, informed guesses about new words by linking them to ones they already know.
The programme encourages learners to spot connections between words that may look similar but are pronounced differently, reinforcing the strong link between spelling and comprehension. Regular opportunities for planned and spaced recall helps children retain their spelling knowledge and apply it in different contexts.
Lessons also include built-in opportunities for ongoing teacher assessment, making it easy to identify tricky words or patterns so pupils can focus on the areas they need most support with.
With a strong emphasis on etymology and morphology, Skip Into Spelling gives children the tools to break down words, understand their origins, and develop into confident, independent spellers.
What’s included in Skip Into Spelling?
Each lesson pack is designed to help children explore and master spelling rules in a fun and structured way. Every lesson comes with an Investigation Pack and an Extra Training Pack, filled with engaging activities.
The Investigation Pack includes a detailed lesson plan, a PowerPoint presentation, and a variety of resources such as activity sheets, cards, and games to support learning. The Extra Training Pack is perfect for whole-class activities outside of the main investigation session. These quick-fire, interactive games help reinforce spelling rules through recall and retrieval.
You can also download training logs, display resources, and word matrix mats to support learning. Training logs give children a place to record new words they’ve explored, along with fun activities to practise them. Editable display posters can highlight spelling rules and exceptions, investigation questions, or word lists. Word matrix mats are a great tool to help children break words down into their base words/roots and affixes (prefixes and suffixes). This makes it easier for them to see how words are built and understand their structure.
