How to learn spelling 

Look, say, cover, write and check
 Using 'Look, say, cover, write and check' can help you to remember how to spell words that you find difficult. **Look ** at the shape of the word. Can you see any patterns or groups of letters that go together? Are there any words within words? **Say ** the words carefully and slowly to yourself. Try to listen for the sounds in the words. **Cover ** the word. Try to picture the word in your mind, closing your eyes might help you to do this. Say the word to yourself again and then.....    **Write ** the word down.  ** Check ** to see if it is correct. If the word isn't quite right don't worry, just try again. It can often take a few attempts to get it right.
