Spelling Mastery A B and C..Spelling Mastery is a strategy based spelling programme that is based on students learning to understand the relationships among sounds, word parts and spelling patterns. Spelling Mastery interweaves three spelling strategies to maximise your students’ skill development:
- Phonemic
- Morphemic
- Whole-word
The straight forward lessons will enable you to:
- Carefully build reliable spelling strategies
- Gives students the skills needed to spell thousands of word
We like:
- the rewards: based on testing every 5 lessons – students can become super spellers and earn certificates.
- That is stresses the importance of saying letter names when spelling but also the emphasis on a child articulating the sounds made in words.
- That it ties in so well with handwriting – the pages have handwriting lines so that cursive script with correctly sized and placed letters are reinforced at the same time as learning spellings.
Spelling Made Easy.(Aims : To Identify word families in reading and spelling and use it with proof reading.
This is a structured, cumulative, multi-sensory spelling programme which benefits all children, including those with dyslexic difficulties. The workbooks increase in complexity as the learner develops confidence from simple cvc words, through phonological awareness activities, to comprehension texts and writing activities, all designed to practise the art of spelling.
