It is vital to widen vocabulary and improve comprehension before tackling reading and spelling. This can be done through every day speech and by learning rhymes and songs.
Children often experience difficulty with spelling because of the way that they pronounce words.
These ideas are to help children to listen carefully to words. It should only take 10 - 15 minutes a day to help your child become more aware of the sounds in words which in turn will help them with reading and spelling. As it is you that will write, the child will not be worried about spelling or reading. The word rhyme can mean nursery rhyme, pop or campfire songs. Please read all the instructions before beginning work with your child.
