english spelling is closely linked to phonics, but the english phonics system is often irregular, so you will have to help your students find the patterns and distinguish when to use them.
syllabic spelling requires you to pause between syllables when spelling the word aloud, rather than say each letter with equal weight and speed.
when students misspell a word with a perfectly reasonable phonetic alternative, it’s always good to praise their phonics skill by saying, ‘this is a really good try.’
once a student has mastered the spellings, he/ she doesn’t have to check that he/she can still spell the words in a week’s or month’s time.
there might be good, average and poor spellers in a class. an old-fashioned spelling test is usually a good idea to tackle their spelling needs.
be sure your students understand that they may fail in the class if they don’t work hard.
focusing on the errors may lead to students’ lack of confidence. once a composition is evaluated, students should not be required to read it again.
