End of Spring Term Checklist for Teachers

blog home

With Easter just a few weeks away, here is an end-of-spring-term checklist to help you get ready for the holidays: 

  1. Reset the Spelling Ability Test

    End of term is the perfect point to reset the ability test.

    Your students will be provided with an updated pathway for the start of the new term and you will have a data point to help you map their progress. Compare each student’s end-of-term Spellzone Score to their start-of-term one to see how much they have improved.
     
  2. Look at your class results  

    As well as exploring the results section for each student, you can look at and download the results for your class as a whole. Click on the class name and then scroll to the results section.

    You may wish to look at results for your whole school too.  
     
  3. Reward your students  

    The end of term is the perfect time to reward your students for their progress, especially now that you have tracked their results. You can even find out which student scored the most effort and achievement points over the spring term. 

    Any time you see a yellow certificate icon Spellzone, it means you can print out a certificate. Certificates are found on the league tables, on each student’s rewards page, and on each student’s results page.

    Why not try our printable stickers too?
     
  4. Enjoy our Easter content:

  5. Play our spelling games

"Spellzone fits in beautifully with our Scope and Sequence of Phonological Awareness and Spelling. It also aligns perfectly with the four areas of spelling knowledge and uses the Brain, Ears, Eyes approach to learning spelling."
Thank you!
