Getting Started with Spelling Shed

Getting Started with Spelling Shed


1. Getting your account set up 
Add the children and teachers in your school and organise them into their classes. If you already have an EdShed product like Phonics Shed or MathShed and have done your set-up for these, then most of this will already be complete. View our guide to adding pupils here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVuZTkNcQEM. 

 

2. Assign Licences
Pupils will need to have licences to be able to access Spelling Shed. You need to be an admin to do this and it can be done on the 'All Pupils' page. View our guide to adding licences here.

3. Explore our interface

Here you will find our Spelling Shed scheme is split into 'Stages', which are the same as year groups. Everything you need to teach each lesson is found within the scheme. It is designed for you to teach one lesson per week, with detailed lesson plans and resources, as well as accompanying games for you to assign to pupils. Grammar teaching slides, pupil games and quizzes are also available in full for you to use and provide full curriculum coverage! 

 

4. Set work for pupils

You can set spelling games for pupils to access through their logins, to practise weekly spelling patterns. In addition, you can set assessments this way, as well as grammar arcade games and quizzes. To set assignments for pupils see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQWaP6rCj8U
