Spelling words -

Learning to spell helps to develop a strong connection between the

letters and their sounds, which is important for both reading and writing.

​

The lists and activities below can be used at home, to help your child learn to spell - putting letters together correctly to form words.

​

Quick ways these lists can be used:

  • As flashcards, say and spell, out loud
  • Laid out, ask your learner to spell a particular word
  • Spell words using magnetic letters/letter cards
  • Practice writing words, in a variety of ways

(coloured pens, white board etc)

​

​

The goal is to be able to spell

the words automatically

Extra ways to practice -

Spelling practice isn’t just about rote memorisation. A combination of engaging visual, tactile and auditory activities will help learners conquer the challenge of remembering spelling words. Here are some more activities your learner can try:

​

​

  • Spell it! - Scrabble tiles

Using scrabble tiles, encourage your learner to spell as many words from the list as possible, without looking.

​

  • Can your learner self-check the

words they have spelt?

  • Remove a letter or two - can your learner figure out what letter is missing?

  • Spelling spiral -

Choose a list of 10 words for your learner to practice. Using different coloured pens, encourage them to practice writing the words around a spiral

Say each letter out loud as they write.

Can your learner practice

a different list of spelling words, by writing their way around a different shape? A square? A shape to fit

the word?

Using a variety of colours is great for helping a visual learner remember their spelling words!

  • Spelling Scramble!

Choose a list of words for your learner to practice. Encourage your learner to find the relevant letters in magazines or newspapers, and glue to words together.

Or maybe you could scramble a group of magnetic letters and see how many words your learner can make from the list !
