The Spelling
Test is worth 10% of the marks.
The children are not told in advance which words to learn. The test is designed to find out how they spell everyday words without warning. So the only practice the children can do is to read every day and look carefully at the words they are reading. The test is a printed story or report with missing words. The teacher reads the story to the children and tells them the missing words. The children then have write (spell) those words into the gaps.
