Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Say each word aloud together and stretch the sounds (“c-a-t”) before writing; hearing sounds makes spelling easier.
2. 2Try a few items on screen first, then print the sheet for practice without help.
3. 3Pick a regular time – after a snack, say – so practice becomes a habit rather than a battle.
