I created this resource to use alongside the Scholastic lesson plan 'tea with the big bad wolf'. Two small tables to use when looking at spelling rules. First table when orally segmenting two similar words - does the initial/final/medial phoneme sound the same. Tick or cross as appropriate. Then use the second table to compare when spelling the two similar words. Words used for this activity were feel and fell. Works well when used as a word work or phonics session when doing the Three Little Pigs.
