Top 5 Spelling Resources for Teachers and Students

Spelling is an important part of learning to read and write. It equips young learners with English language skills to be able to understand more complex texts and communicate more effectively. This will help them, not only as students, but also outside of school and indeed in their future careers and everyday lives. Here are five of our favourite spelling resources for supporting educators in their teaching and students in learning.
1. Spelling Conventions
Written by experienced teachers to address the demands of the Australian Curriculum, this series provides an expansive phonics component from Foundation to Year 6. In addition to this, the books have a specific aim to teach high frequency words, which are the everyday high use words that make up most of written and spoken English. This engaging series is great for teaching different ability groups in your class.
