Questions

What does differentiated mean here?

Differentiated means the same week of spelling work at more than one level, so every child practises the same pattern with a list that fits them. Here that is three versions of one packet: short, class and challenge.

How do children know which version they have?

The pages look the same. The only mark is a small letter beside the page number: A for the short list, B for the class list, C for the challenge list. The teacher page explains the letters and gives the PDF page range for each version.

How are the short list words chosen?

They are the first words of your list, and you choose how many. Put the words you want everyone to learn at the top.

Does it cost anything?

The short and challenge versions are part of the school-year pass ($7, one time, to 2027-07-31). During launch the pass is free: press Unlock.
