Curriculum anchor: England Years 3–4 spelling: prefixes and suffixes, homophones and other words that are often misspelt, plus the statutory word list.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

After each choice, ask the learner to cover the word and spell it aloud or on paper from memory. Take a break when you need one.
