What class/age is Spellings for Me suitable for?

Spellings for Me is designed for students aged 7 to 12 years. This typically corresponds to:

  • Ireland: 3rd to 6th class (some schools successfully introduce it in 2nd class or even 1st class).
  • UK: Year 3 to Year 7.
  • USA & Canada: 2nd to 6th grade.
  • Australia & New Zealand: Year 3 to Year 7.

For international schools, including those in the UAE and other regions, the programme fits well with curricula aligned to these age groups (e.g., KS2/KS3 in British schools or elementary/middle grades in American schools).

If you're unsure when to start, we recommend introducing the programme to students aged 8-9 years (e.g., 3rd class/Year 3/2nd grade) and adjusting based on your school’s specific needs.

Spellings for Me is also widely used in:

  • Secondary schools, for older students requiring additional spelling support.
  • Adult education centres, as part of literacy programmes.

The programme’s flexibility ensures it can adapt to a variety of curriculum frameworks worldwide.
