Tips for parents and teachers
- Praise the sounds your child got right, even in a misspelt word – it keeps them willing to have a go.
- Say each word aloud together and stretch the sounds (“c-a-t”) before writing; hearing sounds makes spelling easier.
- Keep sessions to 5–10 minutes and finish with praise – young children learn best in short bursts.
