Spelling - worksheets

Children learn in various ways - Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check is a traditional method of learning spelling. There are many games both interactive and paper-based which reinforce this learning.

Phonics taught in most schools enables children to 'attack' new words in a positive and confident manner.

Experienced parents and grandparents use storybooks to stimulate interest, increase vocabulary, improve spelling, and increase imagination.
