How NAPLAN tests Year 3 spelling
A word is read aloud
Students hear a word clearly and carefully, then think about its sounds and spelling patterns before answering. This helps them connect pronunciation with the correct written form.
Students type the spelling
Students type the spelling they believe is correct after hearing the word. This gives them useful practice with letter patterns, tricky spellings, and common Year 3 vocabulary.
Lit Spelling matches this exactly
Lit Spelling follows the same simple process: a word is read aloud, and students type the spelling they hear. This makes practice focused, interactive, and suitable for building spelling accuracy.
