Spelling Strategies

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)
