Give your Year 3 and 4 pupils comprehensive practice of statutory spelling words with this complete 12-pack of dictation resources. Each pack focuses on a set of 10 key words, using them in meaningful sentences to help children master spelling, punctuation and sentence structure in context.

Across all 12 packs, pupils will cover essential statutory spellings, including tricky words like circle, quarter, continue, length, eight, February, straight, regular, answer and many more. 

Each word is embedded in clear, pupil-friendly sentences, making it easier for learners to remember spellings while understanding how they are used in everyday writing.

Classroom-ready

The resources are flexible and classroom-ready. Teachers can read sentences aloud to the class or small groups, repeating each one to support comprehension, while pupils write them independently, in pairs or in groups. 

Cut-out sentence cards are included for reading practice, and pupil worksheets turn sentences into fill-in-the-blank dictation exercises, keeping the focus on correct spelling and punctuation.
