This week's spelling, sorted in one text.
A weekly list for your spelling rule, practice sheets, a test with the answers, and a list for each group, written for your class. Text Baker the rule and the year group. The print-ready PDFs come back in the chat.
The rule changes every week. The work doesn't.
Making the list, again
This week is adding -ed. You need ten words that follow the rule, a few that don't, and nothing your class can't read. Then the same again for the group that needs fewer words.
Practice that isn't just copying
Look, say, cover, write, check works, but writing out the grid by hand for three groups eats your break. So it's the same sheet as last term, with new words squeezed in.
The test you haven't written
Friday's test is in twenty minutes. You need the words in a sensible order, a sentence for each, and an answer sheet so the TA can mark.
Baker turns one text about this week's rule into the list, the practice and the test, for every group.

Lists built around the rule

What Baker doesn't do for spelling.
Questions teachers ask about spelling.
Will it follow our spelling scheme?
Tell Baker your scheme and this week's rule, and it writes to that. It pitches words at your year group and follows the spelling for your country, so a UK number gets "colour" and a US number gets "color". It isn't linked to or approved by any scheme; it works from what you tell it.
Can it do look, say, cover, write, check?
Yes. Ask for a look, say, cover, write, check sheet and you get this week's words with lines to write each one. Word sorts, missing letters and finish-the-sentence practice work too.
Does the test come with answers?
Yes. The test has numbered lines and a sentence for each word for you to read out. The answers go on the last page.
Can I get different lists for different groups?
Yes. Ask for easier, core and stretch lists for the same rule. Tell Baker which group gets which and it remembers next week.
Can it carry on next week?
Baker remembers your year group, your groups and what you've covered when you tell it. Next week you can text "next rule is -ly" and it picks up from there.
How much does it cost?
Your first resource is completely free: no card, no account, just text. After that the Baker plan is $20 USD a month for unlimited messages, for spelling and everything else. Text PLAN any time to see the details.
How do I cancel?
Text CANCEL and confirm. You keep Baker until the end of the month you've paid for and you won't be charged again. Changed your mind? Text KEEP.
Is it safe to text about my pupils?
Use first names or group labels ("the red group"). Baker won't store surnames, medical or special-needs details, and it says so if you send them. The full detail is in our privacy policy.
