Get the ten spelling tips and a comprehensive list of phonemes with their associated graphemes when you sign up for the educational newsletter which will offer you more tips and free resources.

THE TEN TIPS TO A USEFUL SPELLING TECHNIQUE 

These Ten Tips form a spelling strategy that is suitable for anyone who finds some words trickier than others to spell and have not yet found a way of recalling them accurately. 

For those who seem to have difficulty recalling the smallest words, this method will help somewhat or they may find it more efficient to follow a short spelling course, such as the Spelling Sense with NLP & Coaching Literacy Programme. This will enable them to form the concepts and acquire the knowledge and skills to be able to generalise and spell single- and multi-syllable words including many that they have never seen before.

When the ten tips are used in combination with the Spelling Sense with NLP & Coaching Literacy Programme, the students will learn to replace old inaccurate spellings and inefficient techniques and quickly learn how to spell more accurately and efficiently in all their writing activities.

Introduction

The majority of excellent spellers possess a ‘photographic’ memory for storing spellings that they have already learned. They know when a word looks correctly spelled. For these spellers, the sound of the word and/or its component sounds trigger the internal visual representation of the word. 

They feel confident about spelling words that they have never seen before because they have a graphone¹ memory store which offers the possibility of spelling any word correctly. This enables them to know where to look in a dictionary to be able to check their spelling if they want to and they are confident enough to ask others for help, if they need to.

The Ten Tips set out below is a starting point, to building a graphonic¹ memory store and will give you a taster of how the Spelling Sense with NLP & Coaching Literacy Programme² works.

The Ten Tips will help those people who have a few difficult words to learn. In order to acquire the skills knowledge and understanding to be able to spell many more unseen words and to discover more details about the whole programme contact Mavis Kerrigan at Small Step Giant Leaps Ltd.
