Would your pupils benefit from prompts to remind them of key spelling rules and vocabulary when writing?

These bookmarks could be just the thing to support independent proofreading and editing in your classroom.

This set of six attractive bookmarks can be used in pupils’ books to remind them of key spelling rules or to help widen their vocabulary choices. The bookmarks could be placed in writing books as a prompt when pupils are writing independently. Perfect for target setting, different bookmarks could be allocated to different pupils according to their needs.

  • Words instead of said
  • Apostrophes for contracted words
  • Spelling rules when adding -ed and -ing
  • Alternative spellings for vowel digraph /ai/
  • Year 3/4 statutory spelling words
