Learning spelling

Students learn how to spell wordbanks every week and complete a spelling test where a parent reads the words out and corrects them.
​

Learning how to spell strategies

• I say the word slowly
• I divide it into parts
• I think about the number of syllables
• I write it down & see if it looks right
• If it doesn’t look right, I underline it.
• I try to write the word another way
• I use a dictionary to check.
• I check my own spelling before anyone else reads my writing.
• I underline spelling errors in others’ work.
