  5. Spelling techniques • There are many ways of learning how to spell new words and make sure they are spelt correctly in your finished work. • Here we are going to cover a few techniques to help you achieve this. • Are there any techniques you use that you can think of?

  6. Break the word into syllables • Break the word into syllables: • Split up complicated words into syllables and concentrate on spelling one syllable at a time. • What is a syl - la - ble? • Syllables are chunks of sound. • One way to understand what syllables are is to think of a song, like "Happy Birthday".Each syllable is a different beat in the song, i.e: "Hap - py  Birth - day  to  you“.

  7. Exercise 1 • Exercise 1: word jigsaw. Match the word cards up by joining up the syllables to make up a word.

  8. Make up your own technique (mnemonics) • Mnemonics, simply, is something intended to assist the memory, as a verse or rhyme. • Because – big elephants can’t always use small exits.

  9. Exercise 2: Can you think of one for diarrhoea? In groups write it down and compare. Remember, the more ridiculous the better! • Write the word down, then think of a new word that begins with each letter. Try to get your words to make a sentence.

  10. Diarrhoea – • Dining in arough restaurant: hurry, or expect accidents.

  11. Exercise 3 • Exercise 3: Handout. Mnemonics quiz worksheet.

  12. Learn a spelling rule • ‘I’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’ whenever it rhymes with ‘me’. This helps you to spell words like ‘niece’ and ‘ceiling’. • When you add ‘full’ to the end of a word, use one ‘I’ – this helps you to spell words like ‘helpful’ and ‘useful’.

  13. Exercise 4 • One person from each group to write on the board: • A) ceiling • B) believe • C) mindful • D) deceitful

  14. Prefixes and suffixes • One of the most effective ways of constructing new words is to find common letter patterns which can be added to the beginning or the end of a word.

  15. Root words • Faithful, faithfully, unfaithful, unfaithfully. • What do the letters in bold have in common? • A root word is a word that has nothing added at the beginning or the end. It stands on its own as a word, it has a meaning. New words can be made from root words by adding beginnings and endings.

  16. Prefix • A prefix is a group of letters which you can add to the beginning of a root word to change the meaning of the word.   • What is an example of a prefix? • E.g. mis (prefix) + fortune (root) = misfortune

  17. What one prefix can you put at the front of all 3 of these words? • Interest • Appear • Trust • Disinterest • Disappear • Distrust

  18. Suffix • A suffix is a word ending. It is a group of letters you can add to the end of a root word. • Name a suffix can you think of? • E.g. walking, helpful. • The most common are 'ed' and 'ing'.

  19. What one suffix can you put at the end of all 4 of these words? • Present • Understand • Charm • Bless • Presenting • Understanding • Charming • Blessing

  20. Exercise 5 • Handout sheet – prefixes and suffixes.
