CAMBRIDGE PRIMARY ENGLISH 4 SPELLING LISTS

Spelling lists
How to use the spelling lists
These spelling lists are a supplement to the spelling spreads at the back of the Learner’s
Book. They are a teacher resource and can be used at your discretion.
The 18 word lists of 15 words per list provide examples of words following particular
letter patterns or spelling rules. They are not organised as lists to be learned per week;
rather they are for you to draw on for reference, or to prepare as lists for display in the
classroom. Groups of spelling words may be given as a learning / homework task, if it fits
in with your school’s philosophy of teaching spelling. Drill is just one element of learning
to spell and progress cannot be measured according to whether a prescribed set of
words can be written out correctly in a test, out of context.
