I've just had a look at the spellings year 5 / 6 kids are expected to know. I'm a bit horrified. I know that as a 10 year old I would have only got about 5 right. Lots of the words look like they don't follow any particular pattern and just have to be learned. I'm interested in what percentage of your kids do you expect to be able to spell them all? What would count as a good score? An OK score?
