Spelling

Today we were looking at helping me out with my spelling. My spelling is fine if I learn all the words for a test, but in everyday writing I struggle.

There are some good resources for spelling on the internet. I had a look on scribd.com....here are some links. Hope they help you too ;)

This has some good revision excercise ideas for teachers and some good rule tables. Its a long document but useful for extracting info for excerises.

One that was useful was an excerice of a poem and one had to change all the verbs into past tense and then double check by putting them in the rule tables i.e. double consonant, - add ed, etc.

I also played http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/wordsandpictures/phonics/ - there are a few simple games here that test your knowledge. It also reinforces what you know already. Any revision is good for cementing knowledge, it does not matter how simple it is.
