Children can check and mark their answers after a week of learning these. If you would like to keep a record, their spelling scores can be recorded in their reading records, including any that they have got incorrect (which can perhaps be reviewed the following week). They will get progressively more challenging as the weeks go on. You might find it helpful to use some of the following strategies. • Look, say, cover, write, check • Segmenting – Split the word into sounds in the correct order and then spell out each sound. • Rainbow writing – Use a different colour to make tricky sounds memorable. • ‘Quickwrite’ – Writing the word correctly as many times as you can in any given time frame. • Rainbow writing – Use a different colour to make tricky sounds memorable. • Draw around the word – Get to know the shape of the word.
