10. Spelling
When teaching spelling, teachers follow the national curriculum which states spelling patterns needed to be taught, e.g. ‘tion’ words as well as statutory word, common exceptions and personal spellings.
Spellings are taught in an investigative way which help children to embed knowledge of these patterns and learn strategies to help them remember.

11. Spelling
Many children use the look cover write check method to learn their spellings
Look at a spelling word.
Cover the spelling word.
Visualize the covered word in the mind.
Write the word from memory.
Check what has been written with the uncovered word.
However there are a range of other strategies that can be used to help to. These include:
Breaking words into sounds ( d-i-a-r-y)
Breaking words into syllables (re-mem-ber)
Breaking words into affixes (dis + satisfy)
Using a mnemonic (necessary has one collar and two sleeves)
Referring to a word in the same family (muscle – muscular)
Saying it as it sounds (Wed-nes-day)
Finding words within words (I am in Parliament)
Using a key word (horrible/drinkable for able and ible)
Appling spelling rules (writing, written)
Creating a visual memory (look-cover-say-write-check)
