- Cover: fold the sheet or cover the word with a hand.
- Write: write the word from memory in the next box.

Which Sheet Should You Use?
- 10 words: a standard weekly list with three tries per word.
- 15 words: longer lists for older pupils.
- Monday to Friday: one column per day, so children practise the whole list every day of the week.
Type the words into the yellow column before you print. For the end-of-week test, use the spelling test templates.
