Should I use Superhero Spelling with KS2 pupils who still have phonics gaps?

Yes — the Superhero Spelling programme can support older pupils who are still developing phonics knowledge.

For Years 3 and 4, the Autumn Term lessons cover the long vowel phonics families, reinforcing key grapheme–phoneme correspondences.
If children have wider phonics gaps, we recommend pairing Superhero Spelling with targeted phonics intervention using the Monster Phonics programme or Rapid Intervention materials.
The colour-coding used in Monster Phonics is also integrated into Superhero Spelling, helping learners make connections and build confidence.
