Split into 3 sections for targeted learning – KS1 (Years 1 and 2), Lower KS2 (Years 3 and 4) and Upper Key Stage 2 (Years 5 and 6)
Designed as a quick-reference tool for Key Stage 1 and 2 children, it covers all the statutory requirements of the spelling part of the National Curriculum
Useful to both an experienced teacher as a focus, or back up, but also useful to a parent trying to support a child’s school spelling programme or for those home educating... There is certainly something here for any speller, at all levels and abilities – another great Ninja resource.
Another brilliant book from the Vocabulary Ninja! Full of ideas and word lists which are useful for teachers and parents. As always, the book is presented in a way that makes it easy to use and a guaranteed time-saver for all.
Having already bought Write Like a Ninja and Maths Like a Ninja for our KS2 classes, Spell Like a Ninja is a fantastic addition to the collection. Bringing together all the phonic and spelling objectives, along with handy hints, tips and strategies, this is a huge hit with the children and staff!
Spell Like a Ninja separates different spelling patterns into easy-to-manage chunks, visually represents the syllables, prefixes and suffixes within the words and provides a wealth of activity suggestions for exploring different patterns. Packed full of tips for helping children to improve their spelling, it’s an invaluable tool for any primary teacher!
Another superb book from Andrew Jennings that will make a huge difference to young people with their spelling. Whether it’s in the classroom or at home, this well designed and engaging book should be the ‘go to’ resource for improving children’s spelling and their literacy skills.
An essential resource for any teacher looking to make spelling fun, engaging and memorable!
The clear explanations, easy-to-use reference pages and spelling practise ideas, not to mention the challenge of the Ninja tasks and the mini-mastery techniques, ensure Spell Like a Ninja is everything you could ask for from a spelling book and more. It’s engaging, immersive and highly accessible, linking spelling, grammar and technical vocabulary with a seasoning of humour to help combat the statutory curriculum.
I love that Spell Like a Ninja teaches children (and parents!) the spelling rules and patterns, not just lists of words to remember. It clearly explains the tricky vocabulary that gets used in schools, so that parents can support their children’s spelling journey.
Alongside the Write Like a Ninja book, this would be a perfect addition to any writing lesson and a great resource for children to use alone and alongside an adult. Children love the independence this gives them with their writing and it enables them to become more proficient spellers with fun activities to do at school and home.
This is a one-stop-shop for teachers and parents looking to help children with their spelling. With each new book, Vocabulary Ninja proves himself to be the support that education needs!
This pocket-sized book is packed full of strategies and resources to enable you to support your primary school children and transform them into spelling ninjas!
