HOW TO PRACTICE YOUR SPELLING
Spelling is learnt in a variety of ways. We encourage the Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check system outlined below.
LOOK – at the word, look for common blends (e.g. sh, ght).
SAY – say it to yourself.
COVER – cover the word; it is best not to copy the word letter by letter, but to think of the whole as a whole unit.
WRITE – the word that has been practiced.
