Spelling

Spelling

 Our programme at school is based on Sounds Alive.  These are the steps:
 * 1) Say the word
 * 2) Conduct the word into parts
 * 3) Tool the word into chunks - remember to write your sound lines under the letters
 * 4) Blend the word back together
 * 5) Sample the word 3 times to find the closest match in a dictionary
 * 6) Confirm or deny the word spelt

 eg birthday  CONDUCT: birth day  TOOL: __b__ __ir__ __th__ __d__ __ay__  SAMPLE: birfday berthday birthday
