Spotting mistakes

Spotting mistakes

Personal spelling notebook Keep a personal spelling notebook. Here are some of the things you might include in it. Spelling strategies Personal errors Rules and conventions Types of errors Targets Subject key words

Study, cover, write, check Strategies If you have problems with a word, you might try one of the strategies suggested here. Jot the strategies down in your spelling notebook. Study, cover, write, check study the words carefully cover it write it down from memory check it repeat until you are happy you know it

Study the rules/conventions Strategies Study the rules/conventions There are a lot of rules, patterns and conventions in these presentations and elsewhere. Find the ones which will help you. Sounding it out Sometimes it is helpful to sound out the syllables of a word, e.g. re-mem-ber. Some words, particularly those with unstressed or silent letters, can be sounded out very deliberately: e.g. Wed-nes-day, def-i-nite Find five other words suitable for sounding out.

Look for letter patterns E.g. guard is often misspelled (as gaurd). Strategies Look for letter patterns It’s difficult to remember the pattern of letters in some words. So try to find the same pattern in other words that you do know. This may help you to associate the words and remember the pattern. E.g. guard is often misspelled (as gaurd). gu is the problem area So look for other words with gu, like ‘gun’, ‘gust’, ‘league’. You can even invent a phrase to help you remember: ‘The guard with the gun.’ Find letter patterns for 3 other difficult words, e.g. calendar

rhythm - rhythm helps your two hips move Strategies Mnemonics These are rhymes or phrases that help you to remember the letters in a word. In your notebooks, write down any mnemonics you know. Create a new mnemonic for a tricky word. E.g. rhythm - rhythm helps your two hips move because - big elephants can always upset small elephants

Strategies Words within words Lots of words contain other words. Use this knowledge to help you spell the more difficult words. E.g. There is a lie in the middle of believe. Conscience is another tricky word, but it has a school subject in it: con + science. See how many other examples you can find of words within words.

Plenary There are lots of ways to improve your spelling. Be aware of the types of error you make. Investigate how spellings and words work. Keep a spelling notebook.
