Primary Spelling Tutors

Primary spelling tutors help children master the statutory word lists, apply phonics knowledge to new words and understand the spelling rules that underpin the English language. A child who spells confidently writes more freely and scores higher across all written assessments.

Why students need help

English spelling is notoriously irregular, and the Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 statutory word lists contain genuinely tricky words. Many children memorise spellings for a Friday test and forget them by Monday, because they have been taught to recall patterns rather than understand rules.

Frequently asked questions

What is the statutory spelling word list and why does it matter?

The government publishes lists of words that children are expected to spell correctly by the end of Year 4 and Year 6. These include words like 'necessary', 'believe', 'separate' and 'environment'. The Year 6 SPAG test assesses spelling from these lists, so knowing them well directly affects test scores.

How does a spelling tutor teach differently from a class teacher?

A specialist tutor uses multisensory approaches (saying, seeing, writing, tapping out syllables), spaced repetition (revisiting difficult words at increasing intervals) and etymology (understanding word roots to unlock dozens of related words). These evidence-based techniques produce lasting retention rather than short-term recall.
