Boost Spelling Skills 1: Fun Strategies to Improve Primary School Children's Spelling Skills in KS1

Description:

About this item:

The Boost Spelling Skills series provides strategies to improve primary school pupils’ spelling skills, making them more confident readers and writers.

Teaching children to spell is essential if we want them to become confident writers. Good spellers can write more fluently, as they don’t have to pause to consider how each word should be spelt. Furthermore, children with good spelling skills are more likely to make adventurous vocabulary choices and be better at reading.

Boost Spelling Skills 1 will boost children’s spelling skills by providing them with useful strategies to help them spell and read unfamiliar words. It is designed for use from Year 2 and beyond with children who are struggling with spelling.

The book follows the Letters and Sounds guidelines for Phases 2-6. It explores high frequency keywords, specific letter patterns, prefixes, suffix endings and introduces ten key spelling rules.

The strategies covered include:

Breaking down words into syllables
Learning memory joggers for irregularly spelt keywords
Using rhyming patterns to link known words to those that may not be familiar (this helps pupils realise that words which share a common sound-end pattern often have same letter sequence too).

Boost Spelling Skills 1 contains structured spelling lists of target words, reading activities and pupil worksheets, each connected to specific letter patterns, prefixes and suffixes. Dictation exercises provide an opportunity for support, reinforcement and consolidation.

A great book for parents who want some help supporting their child’s reading and writing development through guiding them through activities to support learning at home. Or I imagine for teacher use in supporting planning or perhaps setting spelling homework. Includes some helpful and fun techniques for learning, such as ideas for mnemonics. Pages are laid out in a simple and engaging way. The author is clearly very experienced with what works when supporting children as she is a professional. As a parent it feels a little like having access to teacher resources! I really recommend this book!

This is a really useful book to use by both busy teachers at school and parents for home learning. The age group related vocabulary and learning tasks and activities are both really clear to use and provide good reinforcement of spelling rules. There is also a very useful section of fun ways to remember tricky spelling patterns. This book can be used as part of a spelling program in school, a book to dip into for a set of lessons or to re enforce a particular spelling pattern with varied activities.
