Overview:

This is a two-session spelling seed for the book Dadaji's Paintbrush by Rashmi Sirdeshpande.  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:

Word List Words

he, we, was, here, school

Spelling Rules and Patterns

Compound words

Phonics

Revision of alternative graphemes for /ee/

Revision of vowel digraphs

NB: This is the updated, 2 session Spelling Seed for Dadaji's Paintbrush.  For the original 3 session version, please contact resources@literacytree.com.
