Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support identifying root words, prefixes and suffixes, using the prefix ‘un’ and suffixes ‘-es’, ‘-s’, ‘-er’, ‘-ing’. Words are primarily taken from KS1 spelling objectives.
Expected Questions to support identifying root words, prefixes and suffixes, using the prefixes ‘super-’, ‘anti-’, ‘auto-’ and the suffixes ‘-er’, ‘-ful’, ‘-less’, ‘-est’ and ‘ly’. Words included are taken from the Year 3 and Year 4 expectations.
Greater Depth Questions to support identifying root words, prefixes and suffixes, using the prefixes ‘super-’, ‘anti-’, ‘auto-’, ‘dis-’ and ‘mis-’ and the suffixes ‘-er’, ‘-ful’, ‘-less’, ‘-est’ and ‘ly’. Words included are primarily from the Year 3 and Year 4 expectation but also included more uncommon words.
Application and Reasoning
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Application)
Developing Create words using a given root word and prefix and suffix examples, using the prefix ‘un’ and suffixes: ‘-es’, ‘-s’, ‘-er’ and ‘-ing’. Words are primarily taken from KS1 spelling objectives.
Expected Create words using a given root word and prefix and suffix examples, using prefixes: ‘super-’, ‘anti-’, ‘auto-’ and the suffixes: ‘-er’, ‘-ful’, ‘-less’, ‘-est’ and ‘ly’. Words are taken from the Year 3 and Year 4 expectations.
Greater Depth Create words using two given root words, with no given prefix or suffix examples. Expect use of prefixes: ‘super-’, ‘anti-’, ‘auto-’, ‘dis-’ and ‘mis-’ and suffixes: ‘-er’, ‘-ful’, ‘-less’, ‘-est’ and ‘ly’. Words are primarily taken from the Year 3 and Year 4 expectation but also include more uncommon word choices.

Developing Identify and explain words with incorrect prefixes or suffixes, using the prefix ‘un’ and suffixes: ‘-es’, ‘-s’, ‘-er’ and ‘-ing’.
Expected Identify and explain words with incorrect prefixes or suffixes, using prefixes: ‘super-’, ‘anti-’, ‘auto-’ and suffixes: ‘-er’, ‘-ful’, ‘-less’, ‘-est’ and ‘ly’.
Greater Depth Identify and explain words with incorrect prefixes or suffixes, using prefixes: ‘super-’, ‘anti-’, ‘auto-’, ‘dis-’ and ‘mis-’ and suffixes: ‘-er’, ‘-ful’, ‘-less’, ‘-est’ and ‘ly’.
Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Identify the odd one out in given words using the prefix ‘un’ and suffixes: ‘-es’, ‘-s’, ‘-er’ and ‘-ing’.
Expected Identify the odd one out in given words using prefixes: ‘super-’, ‘anti-’, ‘auto-’ and suffixes: ‘-er’, ‘-ful’, ‘-less’, ‘-est’ and ‘ly’.
Greater Depth Identify the odd one out in given root words, considering prefixes: ‘super-’, ‘anti-’, ‘auto-’, ‘dis-’ and ‘mis-’ and suffixes: ‘-er’, ‘-ful’, ‘-less’, ‘-est’ and ‘ly’.
