The Editing section of the P5 and P6 Paper 2 contains 6 spelling errors that students need to identify and correct. Most of the words come from commonly misspelled words. This exercise aims to evaluate students’ spelling accuracy and reinforces their ability to recognize and rectify frequently misspelled words.

From P4, our students are given a list of words to learn. The P4 students are given 20 words to learn, the P5s 40 words, and the P6s 60. The P4s and P5s are tested on this list twice a year, once at the start and then again in Term 3 so that new students who join us also have a chance to learn from this list.

At Thinking Factory, our approach includes early exposure to P5 Paper 2 English components starting in Terms 3 and 4 for P4 students. The Editing section, introduced during Term 3, highlights the importance of mastering these commonly misspelled words. By mastering their commonly misspelled words list, students not only enhance performance in the Editing section but also improve spelling accuracy in compositions and other written tasks throughout their academic journey.

Indeed, these words also appear often in their compositions and when not corrected, students still continue to spell certain words wrongly even in P6, costing them valuable marks.

Below, you’ll find the comprehensive list of words provided to our P4 students. We trust that this resource will prove beneficial to all P4 students seeking to enhance their spelling proficiency and overall English language capabilities.
