The second edition of Support for Spelling offers support for teachers wanting their pupils to become fluent and effective writers; accurate spelling is a means to that end. Competent spellers need to spend less time and energy in thinking about spelling to enable them to channel their time and energy into the skills of composition, sentence structure and precise word choice.
Some different types of spelling activities here. All with a focus on learning rather than just being tested. For example, students learn to look for words within words, or practice spelling with a Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check program.
