Spelling word wall template

A spelling word wall groups words so children can see the patterns behind them. This example builds a brick wall with one colour for each long vowel sound, showing the different ways to spell it, such as rain, play and cake for long a, and a red row of tricky words to learn by heart. It adds the spelling patterns, a look, say, cover, write, check routine and a test day reminder.
