Synopsis

Did you know that the first 100 High Frequency Words comprise 50% of all child and adult reading and writing? High & Medium Frequency Words, also known as 'sight words', are essential words children need to master in order to tackle reading simple texts. They are common words that often have irregular spellings. The workbook is an easy to use, effective spelling resource for parents and teachers endorsed by the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre. It is based on Dolch's list of basic sight words and Fry's list of most essential words. Printed in a dyslexia-friendly font and on cream coloured paper to assist learners with visual perception difficulties. Children who have difficulty reading find spelling even more challenging. If children can master the most frequently spelled words by heart, their self-confidence will grow in their ability to spell and write. Parents can be of great help in teaching spelling to their children. Children experience greater and faster success when parents work with their children at home. The workbooks are therefore designed to encourage parents and teachers to work together by: Parents using the workbook at home to help their children learn and memorise sight words; and teachers and teaching assistants using the workbook in the classroom to monitor, assess and record children's individual progress. These spellings should be practised and memorised by sight. It is an appealing, multisensory tool for children to have fun learning their spellings; organised in small, manageable learning chunks, the method uses visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learning preferences. I CAN SPELL draws on an improved version of look, say, cover, write, check, by tracing over the word (helping with fine motor control) and using closed eye visualisation. Clear instructions are given on how to implement visualisation techniques to improve the child's ability to remember tricky spellings. Sequel to Workbook 1.
