This Year 6 Autumn 1 Baseline Assessment is designed to assess understanding of spelling objectives covered during this term when following our suggested spelling sequence.

Presented in a format similar to that used in formal assessments to build familiarity with those, this assessment can be used as a baseline at the start of the half-term or as an assessment at the end of the half-term. With a teacher script, guidance and a detailed grid explaining which objective each spelling links to and when it's covered during this half-term, this download covers your spelling assessment needs!

Spelling objectives covered in this baseline assessment:

• S38: Adding suffixes beginning with a vowel to words of more than one syllable

• S39: The /i/ sound spelt ‘y’

• S40: The /uh/ sound spelt ‘ou’
