Spelling and Handwriting

At Oak View Primary & Nursery School, we follow the Little Wandle phonics programme for Key Stage 1 spellings, ensuring that students develop strong foundational spelling skills through a systematic approach. For Years 3-6, we use Spelling Shed, an engaging platform that supports the progression of spelling skills across these year groups. Additionally, handwriting is introduced from Year 1 using the Letterjoin scheme, where students begin to learn fully cursive writing. This approach ensures consistency and supports the development of legible, fluent handwriting as they progress through the school.
