Teacher Assessment Framework for end of Key Stage 1
Criteria for spelling:
WORKING AT THE EXPECTED STANDARD
• Segmenting spoken words into phonemes and representing these
by graphemes, spelling many correctly
• Spelling many common exception words
• Spelling some words with contracted forms
• Adding suffixes to spell some words correctly in their writing- e.g.
–ment, -ness, -ful, -less, -ly
PLUS – Grammar knowledge required by the end of Key Stage 1:
Word Time
Principles:
• Securing the three sets of sounds from the
RWInc scheme
• Securing accurate spelling of the Common
Exception Words from previous years
• Learning different spellings for the same
sound – i.e. ay, a-e, ai, and distinguishing
between these in common words
• Reading and writing these words
Lists of spellings sent home from each spelling group will be
different and reflect the teaching and learning current in each
group. Some children will have CEW words to learn specific to
their needs.

Exception Word – the children have these words in their
learning environment and they are expected to spell them
correctly – they have the responsibility for getting these
right or self correcting
• ‘C’ if the spelling mistake is in a topic word – a spelling
linked to the current topic or theme
• Ticks to indicate where a spelling is right
•     
•
• Allowing the children to use a dotted line under tricky
words
