The sentence stems on the cards support discussions and writing! There are 2-3 different levels depending on subject to allow for progression.
We had these cards professionally printed at a local printers, double sided with a matt laminate to avoid any reflection of light and I would highly recommend this! If you need to keep costs lower, I would suggest buying some matt laminating pouches.
The cards we use across the curriculum. Their use should be modelled and encouraged by staff. Encouarge children to challenge themselves to use a variation of stems to avoid repeating the same starters.
This is an oracy staff meeting. The slides are in PowerPoint and are fully editable. I have added some notes on slides which may need further explanation.

Spelling Challenge Cards Level 1-5
Level 1 = phase 3 CEW and HFW
Level 2 = Phase 4 CEW and HFW
Level 3 = Phase 5a
Level 4 = Phase 5b
Level 5 = Phase 5c
Each challenge card is split into bronze, silver and gold (these aren’t progressive, they just offer milestones) Children take the sheets home and practice the words. When they are confident they can spell them, the parents cut the relevant slip off the bottom and send it in to say they are ready to be tested! Teachers can test all/ a random sample of the words to validate.
Each level has bronze, silver and gold certs. Each time a child gets a cert, we offer 3 raffle tickets (in the bundle) and 2 house points (you can add your own rewards!). We will run a termly raffle to win £20!
Print to A3, laminate and pop up on classroom doors. Teachers can add facts that the children have learnt so visitors to the classroom can discuss their learning with them/ check what they have remembered.
E.g. Test us on our… 3 x table
Ask us to spell… together
Question us about… Fair Trade
See if we can remember… how the water cycle works
