Your child was assessed on the statutory Year 5/6 words at the beginning of this term. The words highlighted are the words your child needs to focus on this year. Don’t worry about how many there are, as these words are new to them, just focus on five words at a time. Children will also be assessed again after Christmas and a new highlighted sheet will be given out with the expectation that fewer words will be highlighted. Spelling sheets need to be in school everyday for opportunities to practise, so I advise they keep them in their reading records.
