For most, the learning of spelling is a gradual process. Some spelling sense will occur as the child learns basic phonics skills. We will also discuss ways to teach this. Children will ask how to spell words they need and they will invent spelling for words they need, especially if none is available to help them. As mentioned before, many words do not fit into a phonetic structure, so many words will have to be memorized just as we need to memorize the sight words we must read.
Some examples are bake, rain, say, etc.
Give them the opportunity to see and use many different kinds of meaningful printed material. They should be encouraged to be involved in many kinds of writing experiences. Have many kinds of print and writing materials around your house that are available to the children. Play with words. Do letter-sound association games.
