Helping Students to Enjoy Learning to Spell
For students with Dyslexia and Learning Difficulties:
- spelling is confusing and doesn't make sense
- words seem to run together
- reading is hard work and not fun
This is because of difficulties with:
- hearing sounds in words
- learning letter sound associations
- blending sounds together
- identifying beginning, middle and end sounds in words
- learning tricky sight words
- reading fluency
- retrieving words from vocabulary
How Clever Speller helps:
- phonics stories are full of words with a focus sound
- all the ways to spell the focus sound are in one place
- stories provide the context for phonics to make sense
- easy to follow word family patterns
- focus sound words are grouped in lists from simple to complex
- tricky sight words are grouped into a focus sound
- rhyming stories help with predicting and memory
- recalling spelling is much easier from a story than from a spelling list
