This is a three-session spelling seed for the book Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen. Below is the coverage from Appendix 1 of the National Curriculum 2014.
Spelling Seeds have been designed to complement Writing Roots by providing weekly, contextualised sequences of sessions for the teaching of spelling that include open-ended investigations and opportunities to practise and apply within meaningful and purposeful contexts, linked (where relevant) to other areas of the curriculum and a suggestion of how to extend the investigation into home learning.
There is a Spelling Seed session for every week of the associated Writing Root.
Coverage:

disastrous, explanation, mischievous, vegetable, variety
Spelling Rules and Patterns
Endings which sound like /ʃəs/ spelt –cious or –tious

It's an absolute privilege to be working with such talented and instinctive professionals who put their enthusiasm for literacy and children's learning at the very centre of what they do. I've witnessed the infectious passion they have for literature and language being passed to teachers, and onto the pupils. There are few other programmes I have worked with that have been as inspiring.
