  1. Spelling

  2. Learning sounds of spoken English Learning the letters and letter patterns which represent those sounds Blending sounds for reading Segmenting sounds for writing/ spelling Reading and spelling “Tricky Words” Acquisition of fine motor skills, visual and auditory perception The acquisition of literacy skills

  3. Blending and Segmenting • Blending- Process of combining phonemes into larger elements such as cluster (str), syllables (tion) and words (chop) • Segmenting- Process of breaking a word down into its component phonemes e.g. c-a-t, s-ou-p, f-ar-mer

  4. Blending and Segmenting • Count the phonemes in each word: Snack coffee knee edge house brought

  5. Auditory Segmenting Count sounds in words Hear Beginning, End and Middle sounds Generate rhyme Clap 3 syllable words Clap 2 syllable words Segment compound words

  6. Phonics Multi-sensory approaches: • Story and big book/ flashcards • Say sounds • Action • Write in air, on paper, in sand… • Songs

  7. Spelling is an integral part of the teaching of literacy, and as such, should be given priority through a whole school approach.. To become successful spellers, pupils need to be taught in a fun, motivating and interactive manner using a wide variety of activities. Opportunities for consolidation need to be afforded on a daily basis and should include the promotion of collaborative learning. The teaching of spelling should predominately be school based as the practice of giving lists of words solely to learn as homework has proven to be less than successful. Pupils in the early years will also be learning to spell through a phonic approach. Highland Literacy Project

  9. Teaching Spelling- beyond phonics • Systematic approach (Rules) • High frequency (Tricky Words) • Connecting writing and spelling

  10. Methodology It has been found that children learn to spell better, quicker and more easily if they are given short but fun activities on a daily basis. Tasks that are interactive and can be undertaken collaboratively are more effective than worksheets and will lead to pupils becoming more independent and focused learners.Highland Literacy Project
