How NAPLAN tests Year 9 spelling
A Word Is Read Aloud
Students hear the target word read aloud clearly, just as they would during a spelling assessment. Listening carefully helps them recognise the sounds, syllables, and word patterns before attempting to spell it.
Students Type the Spelling
After hearing the word, students type the spelling they believe is correct. This gives them an opportunity to practise recalling difficult words independently rather than simply copying them from a list.
Lit Spelling Matches This Exactly
Lit Spelling follows the same basic process by combining spoken words with typed spelling practice. Students hear a word, enter their answer, and receive feedback so they can quickly identify and correct spelling mistakes.
