Check understanding

  • Spell subject-specific vocabulary correctly when encountered in new domains (e.g., 'parliament', 'photosynthesis', 'algorithm')
  • Apply known spelling rules and etymological patterns to unfamiliar words
  • Use proofreading strategies to identify and correct spelling errors in own extended writing
“When your child writes longer, more complex words in secondary school — like subject-specific vocabulary in science or history — do they spell them correctly without needing to check each time?”
