Using Spelling Shed With Mixed Age Classes

Do you have mixed ages in your class? In this session, EdShed Phonics and Spelling Trainer Amelia discusses the different strategies that you can draw on to successfully teach spelling with multiple year groups.
She outlines the pros and cons of each approach so that you can select the ones relevant to your school. This also includes discussion around more unusual year group pairings, such as those that cross phases or key stages, and ideas for those with three or four year groups.
