Spelling Bee Extension Pack for More Able Spellers - over 240 additional words

As we developed our own Spelling Bee for Grades K - 5 four years ago (due to not being able to find anything on the market to accurately support our learners) we quickly found that the Spelling skills of our children were challenged and rapidly improved.

Their thirst for the Spelling Bee challenge encouraged them to learn words ahead of the weeks being studied, our by sending our resources home to all parents each year, parents soon got on board and started supporting their children at home too.

The outcome of this was a need for an additional list of more complex words for the children to learn, should they be confident and prove that they know the words within their own year group lists.

Our lists have been devised by reviewing curriculum needs, skills and outcomes, and therefore we did not want to give a 4th grader a 5th graders list, as this would be part of the curriculum when they were in 5th grade. As a result, we came together to produce a stand alone "Extension" list which children from Grades 3 and up can use to further develop and enhance their spelling skills, with spoiling the Spelling Bee experience the following academic year.

It links closely with the packs available from our store:

• Covers 34 weeks with the minimum of 6 words each week - maximum 8.
• Overview pattern is listed, where appropriate, at the top of each week
• Can be used easily within the existing Spelling Bee of your grade
• Can be used in the Spelling Bee assessments to avoid a tie break situation

We have used this within the grades listed above for the past two years and it has certainly strengthened the spellings in those grades. We hope that you enjoy our resources.
