Am I a Good Speller? Spelling Checklist for Beginning Writers

About this teaching resource

This checklist, Am I a Good Speller? Spelling Checklist for Beginning Writers, is intended to help children (beginning writers) realise that good spellers are not necessarily people who know how to spell everything.

Try to develop similar checklists using your own students' ideas and wording.

They may not be able to do all of the things listed, but the checklists will make them aware of what they can do and what they may strive to achieve.
