Spelling Mnemonics - landscape
This set of 37 spelling mnemonics charts help students learn tips and tricks for learning how to spell common tricky words that appear again and again.
Learning goals
- We are learning to understand how to use letter-sound relationships and less common letter patterns to spell words.
- We are learning to understand how to use letter patterns, spelling generalisations, morphemic word families, prefixes, suffixes and word origins to spell more complex words.
- We are learning to read and write a large core of high frequency words and use context to make correct spelling choices, e.g. homophones – know, no.
- We are learning to use known words, base words, prefixes and suffixes, word origins, letter patterns and spelling generalisations to spell new words.
- We are learning to understand how to use letter-sound relationships and less common letter patterns to spell words.
- We are learning to understand how to use letter patterns, spelling generalisations, morphological word families, affixes and word origins to spell more complex words.
- We are learning to use known words, base words, prefixes and suffixes, word origins, letter patterns and spelling generalisations to spell new words.
