Phase 5 spelling programme Letters and Sounds: Suitable for home-learning

A simple but effective spelling programme for Phase 5 of Letters and Sounds teaching the new graphemes.

Help children become good spellers, and help struggling readers and spellers make progress.
Take one sound a week, study the word list and practice the new sound and the following week do a dictation for that sound. It is that SIMPLE!

Just a few minutes a day for 16 weeks!

This programme works because:
Each sound is studied for a whole week. This gives time for the new knowledge to be assimilated - time that the middle to lower ability groups desperately need to succeed and for whom most programmes go way too fast.

The child is NEVER asked to spell a word that has not yet been systematically taught. This develops confidence and works for ALL children regardless of ability. The programme is** truly systematic**.

Each dictation builds on the one before and is carefully worked out to revise the sounds.

There is no SPELLING TEST that the child can fail - the dictation is the test, while also teaching children to apply their new knowledge. The child finds his/her own errors and corrects them by using phonics. It WORKS!

Can be used with a whole class (where appropriate) or groups, or even individually by special needs teachers or TA’s.

Note: Progress is dependent on the quality of teaching.

Please ensure children can spell confidently words with the Phase 4 sounds before starting this programme.
