Built on the evidence

This isn't a worksheet dump. Every choice in this pack is grounded in what the NSW Department of Education says actually helps students learn.

  • Explicit teaching, I do → we do → you do

    The animated teaching deck models each word set before students practise — the teacher shows the sounds, the spelling pattern and the word parts, step by step, exactly as NSW explicit teaching prescribes.

    CESE What Works Best 2025 · Explicit teaching

  • Triple Word Form Theory

    Every week studies one word set three ways — Phonological (sound), Orthographic (pattern) and Morphological (meaning) — because skilled spellers draw on all three, not phonics alone.

    NSW DoE · Effective reading & spelling instruction

  • Differentiation that manages cognitive load

    Three worksheets every week — ★ Support scaffolds with sound boxes and a word bank, ★★ Core is grade-expected, ★★★ Extension spells from memory and composes — so one word set reaches every student.

    CESE · Cognitive load theory

  • Retrieval & spaced practice

    Weekly look-say-cover-write-check and end-of-block exit tickets build retrieval and transcription automaticity, freeing working memory for composition. Aligned to NSW EN3-SPELL-01.
