Description

Spelling Patterns and Phonics for Ages 6+ is full of fun ways to help kids learn and understand spelling for Key Stage 1 National Curriculum Year 1. It's colourful with lots of photos and pictures to stimulate discussion and interest in the words and spelling. Ideal for KS1 SATS revision. Kids need to understand spelling to be able to spell and love it. They need to understand spelling rules, how words are built with prefixes, root words and suffixes, relate speech sounds to a letter and letter patterns, know why words are spelt the way they are (all curriculum requirements). You need this book because it goes into much more detail about spelling than the average spelling book. Spelling is like a science subject that needs to be studied in depth. This book helps kids at this age group to really notice, study and remember spellings and not just memorise them. This book guides kids through the statutory spelling requirements: noticing endings (-s, -es, -er, -est) - knowing spelling rules (FLOSSY words, magic ‘e’ silent ‘e’, adding -es) - recognising consonant letter patterns/strings and their sounds (-ch, -tch, -ph-, wh-, -ck, -nk, -ng) - recognising vowel letter patterns/strings and their sounds (for example, -ay, -ai-, -ee-, -ea-, -igh, -ie-, -oa- -ow-, -ue- -ew, -oo) - understanding grammar and spelling for comparatives and superlatives Study and learning tips include: learning faster and better, making mistakes, and repeating and revising to remember. The exercises, also with lots of pictures, help kids to practise spelling and can help less confident kids and challenge others. The exercises include writing sentences, matching words to pictures, gap fill, identifying the letter patterns/strings in words, and much more. Lists of words within the same sound and letter pattern groups help develop visual memory and reading, which is also ideal for kids who might be struggling with phonics. It's ideal for teachers and parents, and great for getting the answers for those difficult spelling questions. Recommended for 6-7 years old but is useful for any kid struggling with spelling.

Good exercises My granddaughter passed her spelling test at school due to spending 10 minutes a day reading this book Fantastic resource, covers all of the statutory year 3 and 4 words, and indexes which page to find each word.
