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.
