This Year 6 Spring 2 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:

  • S56: Words ending in ‘able’, ‘ible’, ‘ably’ or ‘ibly’

  • S57: Adding suffixes beginning with vowels to words ending in ‘fer’

  • S58: The /ee/ sound spelt ‘ei’
