Phonics and the Common Words 

Teaching and learning spelling are progressive processes, 

which are structured in this scheme, marrying phonics 

with ‘common words’. Children learn best when spelling 

is taught systematically and in a structured manner over 

time. Spelling needs explicit instruction for the majority of 

children, particularly for those who fail to ‘catch it’ because 

of inherent difficulties. The NLS Framework for Teaching 

(Beard 1998) recommended that successful management 

of the teaching of spelling should include structured 

teaching, which involves the following, all of which are an 

integral part in the My Spelling Workbook series: 

• making it clear what has to be learnt 

• dividing material into manageable chunks 

• teaching in a well considered sequence 

• the use of material in which children make use of 

hunches and prompts 

• regular testing for progress 

• immediate feedback 

Matching Teaching Methods to Learning Styles 

This phonic based, multisensory spelling series introduces 

strategies that feature Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write 

and Check. The series promotes independent learning of 

spelling in context and features a proven metacognitive 

approach to spelling. The metacognitive approach 

encompasses logical and systematic thinking, combined 

with the skills of visualisation, emotion and creativity. 

Through using all aspects of thinking, children not only 

learn how to spell but also learn how to retain and use 

these words in context. 

Success with this series is achieved through the 

reinforcement activities provided in the My Spelling 

Workbook series. These workbooks cover the strategies 

in a fun, creative way ensuring that both the child and the 

teacher enjoy the learning process. The Teachers Guides 

provide the metacognitive strategies. These are clearly 

outlined using flash cards, assessment sheets, extra 

activities, guidelines for use with children with special 

needs, extension activities for more able children, dictation, 

word lists and answers. 

Each workbook contains 18 lists of phonic based, 

commonly used words to develop a base vocabulary for 

primary school children. These help to develop independent 

spellers through a variety of activities including: 

• word building 

• memory tests 

• word study 

• word puzzles 

• discovering patterns in words.

suit different class needs.

Teacher Information 

Each workbook contains 18 spelling units. Each unit is made up of four pages, with each unit containing: 

• a list of 15 words to be learned, focusing on one or more phonic word patterns and two commonly used words 

• word building and word study activities 

• revision words from the previous workbook. 

The first page of each unit contains 

the list words. Before the children 

see the list, it is recommended that 

the words are pre-tested. This can 

be used as a benchmark for how 

well the children learn the list or 

which words they need to focus on 

throughout the unit. 

Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write, 

Check – This represents the basic 

method recommended for word 

learning. Children should follow this 

multisensory process when learning 

each word. It is a proven method 

of retaining a word in the memory 

and should be a procedure that is 

followed consistently, to assist with 

the learning of further words. 

Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write, Check 

Look at the word. Look for words within words. Look at the shape of the word. 

Say each letter aloud: either as its letter name or sound. 

Trace each letter as the sound is said. This will reinforce the kinaesthetic 

movement and sound pattern and becomes a physical and auditory memory. 

Cover the word. (A time factor can be built into this part. Test after one 

minute, 10 minutes, one hour, the next day etc.) 

Each word list table has a 

series of columns. After learning 

each word, the children should 

hide their word with their hand 

and write it in the first ‘Practise’ 

column. This should be repeated 

after a few days, but written into 

the second ‘Practise’ column. 

To help evaluate the children’s 

progress, if the word is spelt 

correctly in the test, a tick should 

be placed in the ‘T’ column. 

A tick should be placed in the 

‘D’ column if the word is spelt 

correctly in the dictation. 

Problem words can be recorded 

in the ‘Difficult Words I Have 

Found’ table on page 74, for 

additional learning.

Metacognitive Approach 

Aim: To encourage children to become successful independent spellers and thinkers. 

Introductory Stage 

• Each category of question (Clarifying, Literal, Inferential, Personal, Visualising, Predictive, Summarising and Reflective) 

should be explained to the children. It is important that they understand what kind of question they are asking. 

• Not all cards will be relevant in every situation. On occasion, they will be. 

• Some of the questions may appear to be the same but are repeated under different categories. This is because the context is 

different and this should be explained to the children. 

Preparation Stage 

• The teacher chooses a suitable spelling word. A word that encompasses all the categories of questions is better. However, it 

should be stressed that not all categories are relevant to every word; for example, ‘yesterday’. 

• The cards are displayed for all children to see. Teachers might prefer to enlarge the cards to A3 when photocopying or to 

laminate them. (See pages 6–13). 

Modelling Stage 

• The teacher models a word; for example, ‘yesterday’. The teacher demonstrates the thinking process involved by applying the 

questions suggested in the relevant categories and ‘talking’ through his or her answers. 

• Allowing children to interact with the teacher using this process can be very productive. 

Explanation of Question Types 

Clarifying questions are questions that make words, 

phrases or concepts clear and understandable. 

For example: What is the word? 

forgot 

What does this word mean? 

didn’t remember 

Can the word be broken into smaller sounds? 

for—got 

Literal questions are questions that have a straightforward answer found in the text. 

For example: What is the tricky part of the word? 

or 

Inferential questions are questions that ask you to deduce answers from the text. 

For example: Can I think of some other way to help remember how to spell this word? 

break the word into two little words: for, got 

Review sample 

Personal questions are questions that are relevant to oneself. 

For example: Do I know how to spell any part of this word? 

yes 

Is this a word that I need to learn to spell? 

yes, because I sometimes use this word in my writing 


Metacognitive Approach 

Visualising questions are questions that require you to ‘see’ the word or shape in 

your mind. 

For example: Close your eyes. 

Can I see the word inside my head? 

yes/no 

Can I see the shape of the word? 

Predictive questions are questions that require you to forecast a possible outcome. 

For example: Can I say another word that is spelled almost the same? 

forget has the same beginning 

Can I spell this word? 

yes/no 

Can I write it from memory and say each letter as I do it? 

f–o–r–g–e–t 

Summarising questions are questions that demand a reiteration and understanding 

of what went before. 

For example: Can I make a sentence for this word? 

yes – I forgot my lunch. 

Can I write a story the teacher has given me with the spelling word 

or words in it? 

yes/no 

Reflective questions review the strategies used to learn new words and how you 

feel about your progress. 

For example: How did I do? 

happy/reasonably happy/unhappy 

Which card helped me the most? 

Inferential Questions 

Will learning how to spell this word help me to spell other words? 

yes/no 

Was there anybody or anything that could have helped me? 

I could have practised writing the word or got my family to test me. 

How do I feel? 

happy/reasonably happy/unhappy 

Review sample 

The ‘Reflective Questions’ card should be used as a challenge for every child. It is designed to extend the more 

successful speller. It also offers the opportunity for individuals to recognise their own areas of strengths and weaknesses. 

This card should be used either at the end of the lesson or after the dictation to reflect on success and to set new goals 

for themselves. 

The following pages contain a set of cards for encouraging this way of thinking.

Additional Activities 

The following activities and games have been provided for your use as additional support to the spelling programme. 

They are a guide and can be developed to suit any class, programme or teaching style. 

Choose from the following activities and games if not already covered in the particular list being treated. 

The two worksheets on pages 24 and 25 provide an opportunity for spelling extension and consolidation. 

Six photocopiable spelling games can be found on pages 26–29. These extra copymasters can be 

used to support learning spelling, as activities for fast finishers or small group extension work, in 

individual or special needs programmes, as homework or as structured whole-class activities. 

Individual Activities 

Word Study – Useful for developing familiarity with the list words. 

Strategy 

• Make word shapes, word snakes or word sums for list 

words. 

• Find small words in list words. 

• Write the list words in alphabetical order. 

• Write list words with eyes closed or from memory. 

• Sort words according to different criteria. 

• Make word builders by adding ‘s’, ‘es’, ‘er’, ‘ing’, ‘ed’, ‘y’, 

or ‘ly’. 

• Missing letters – write list words with missing letters. 

Children guess which words they are. 

Examples 

Word Shapes: 

much = then = 

Word Snakes: 

kitedrivesideninefiveridespentwentsenthideline 

Word Sums: ri + ch = rich; ch + op = chop 

For example: meat – me, eat, at, a 

For example: sort by initial/final letters; number of letters; 

rhyming/non-rhyming or by children’s own 

choice. 

For example: hop – hops, hopped, hopping, hopper 

Review sample 

For example: r_ast = roast 

• Find antonyms, synonyms, homophones or homographs 

for the spelling words. 

For example: hot/cold 

close/shut 

bare/bear 

rock/rock 

• Write definitions for spelling words. 

These can be either looked up in a dictionary, or written in 

the child’s own words, and then checked. 



Informal Activities 

Useful for the reinforcement of the list words in a less formal approach. 

Strategy 

Examples 

• Make bookmarks with difficult words or list words. 

• Clap the number of syllables in words. 

• Outline words. 

• Make concept words. 

• Write list words in the shape of a list word. 

• Use bright colours to trace list words. 

• Spinning wheel game – Make words by spinning the 

circle and blending the selected sound with the sound in 

the middle. 

• Sound strips – Use paper strips to practise blending 

sounds with a variety of digraphs. 

For example: thick 

For example: 

For example: 

ant 

plant 

milk 

desk 

could be the shape for: cake, made, rate, etc. 

For example: ‘sand’ 

For example: 

f 

d 

h 

ive 

and 

Review sample 

gr 

bl 

b 

l 

st 

h 

s 

br 

• Blending cards – Use flashcards of sounds, blends and 

simple digraphs to mix and match and create new words. 

For example: 

n e st 

m 

h 

en 

op 

j 

p 





Strategy 

• Encourage children to ‘have a go’ and take risks with 

approximate spelling. 

Examples 

For example, using ‘have a go’ pads or spelling journals for 

children to try out their spelling when writing stories etc. 

• Encourage as much reading as possible. 

• Break each spelling list into shorter lists based on similar 

spelling patterns or themes. 

• Longer words can be ‘chunked’ (broken into chunks) to 

assist spelling, rather than conventional syllables. 

• Make simple designs using the list words written end 

to end. 

• Encourage children to look at difficult words, focus on 

the problem part, close their eyes, then write it. 

• Write list words on graph paper, cut out the letters, and 

then build the word from the cut-out letters. 

• Write the list words, leaving out some letters. Complete 

the words the next day. 

• Prepare a cloze passage, deleting list words. Children 

select the correct word to go in the correct space. 

Include different sources of print around the classroom for 

children to find correct spelling. For example: opposites, 

colours, favourite sayings, days of the week. 

For example these list words could be broken up as follows: 

he, me, we, be, she; 

gum, hum, sum; 

yes, no. 

For example into – in to. Children should be encouraged to 

choose how to chunk the words themselves, so 

as to suit each child’s preferred learning style. 

Use shapes like circles, triangles and spirals. 

For example: the problem part of ‘want’ might be ‘an’ rather 

than ‘on’.

c 

a 

For example: c m = come 

For example: ‘dog’ and ‘vet’ might fit into:

• Use sentence frames to develop a spelling vocabulary of 

list words. 

For example: We took our cat to the vet. 

We took our pup to the vet. 

• Use list words to build other words. 

For example: using the word ‘am’: 

h , j , sw 





Strategy 

Examples 

• Use games like word bingo and word quizzes. 

• Make new words by writing letters in front of a sound. 

• Make alphabet books to use as personal dictionaries. 

• Use list words to make spelling ladders, with each word 

starting with the letter which ends the word before. 

• Decorate or illustrate list words. 

• Write list words using string or pipe cleaners. 

Word Bingo 

Children copy words on bingo cards, checking their spelling, 

then cover words with counters on their cards if the word is 

called. 

Word Quizzes 

Using a word list, children write the correct word. For example, 

Write the word starting with ‘b’; Write the word with ‘oo’ in the 

middle. 

For example: ‘og’ could be added to with ‘d’, ‘fr’, ‘l’, ‘h’, ‘j’, 

etc. 

Children write any difficult words they have found under each 

letter. 

Children can draw pictures and ask other children to guess 

which word they have drawn; or simply make words into 

patterns. 

Children can make each letter, or just the word shape. 

• Use magnetic letters to form words from memory on a 

board. l e t t e r 

• Write list words in sand or salt. 

For example: 

y e s 

o 

m 

e 

Review sample 

Children could also trace words on a desk or sandpaper. 

Discussing whether word shapes are ‘tall’ or ‘small’ could 

follow. 

• Emphasise spelling rules 

For example: magic ‘e’, ‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’ 

• Make word chains using list words. 

Children write spelling words on paper strips and staple 

together to make paper chains. 

• Write list words in sentences to show the meaning. 

• Write list words in questions. 

For example: ‘A fish can swim’. 

‘Is that a fish?’ 



Partner and Group Activities 

Partner activities – Develops cooperation and increases knowledge of list words. 

Strategy 

Examples 

• Make ‘What am I?’ clues. 

• Children make their own read-and-draw activities to 

swap with a partner. 

• Jumble words and swap with a partner. 

• Make yes/no questions or true/false statements 

containing list words and swap with a partner. 

• Word dominoes 

• Make word searches or crossword puzzles on grid paper 

and swap with a partner. 

• Trace list words on partner’s back—partner guesses 

which spelling word was traced. 

• Cut pairs of list words in half and rejoin them. Children 

then see if their partner can guess the words. 

For example: I am round. 

You can bounce me. 

What am I? 

A ball 

For example: ‘farm’ becomes ‘armf’. 

As an extra challenge, children can create 

jumbled words that can be pronounced. 

For example: ‘Does a fish swim in the sea?’ 

‘Do we drink milk?’ 

Word dominoes can be 

made by breaking list 

words in half (ones that 

have a common ending or 

beginning). 

This can be simply done by making a grid, and inserting 

the list of spelling words horizontally and vertically. Any 

gaps are filled with random letters in a word search or 

coloured black in a crossword. 

For example: r ed b at = bed, rat 

For example: 

wh 

sp 

ip 

ent 

Review sample 

• Guess the word – Give a partner the first letter of a word 

chosen from the spelling list. The partner then has to 

guess the word before the whole word is revealed, one 

letter at a time. 

For example, the beginning 

of a game using the word 

‘drink’ would look like this: 

• Make a word bank following the same sound pattern 

or rule as particular list words. Work as individuals, 

partners, small groups or a whole class. 

For example: A list of words that end in ‘old’: cold, gold, 

sold, fold, told; Words that end with ‘ss’: 

mess, dress, loss, cross. 



Partner and Group Activities 

Class or Group Games – Useful for the reinforcement of the list words in a less formal approach. 

Strategy 

• Simple class spelling competitions. 

Examples 

For example: a ‘Difficult Word of the Day’ competition, where 

the class try to spell a challenging word. 

• ‘Hunter’ 

• Play concentration, fish, word bingo or tic tac toe. 

• Play hangman or a similar game, called ‘Shannon’s 

Game’. 

• ‘Guess My Word’. 

• Magazine hunt for list words 

Use individual books, charts, shared stories, poems etc. to find 

a particular spelling pattern or rule being treated. 

In tic tac toe, each player uses a list of words with a common 

sound as their ‘noughts and crosses’. 

For example, in the game below, player one used a bank of 

‘sh-’ words; player two used a bank of ‘-ook’ words. 

look book ship 

took 

shock 

she 

In ‘Shannon’s Game’, children need to guess the letters in the 

correct order in which they occur in each word. 

Children ask questions that require a yes/no response to guess 

the mystery spelling word. 

Review sample 

Choose a number of words to focus on for a week. Children 

can also search for these in newspapers or any other reading 

material in the classroom. Children can circle or underline 

words they find. At the end of the week, children can count 

their score and share the sentences they found. 

Also refer to pages 26–29 for photocopiable spelling games. 

Books of other photocopiable spelling games are available from Prim-Ed Publishing: 

2075–2076 Fifty Spelling Activities

Assessment 

There are many different ways to assess spelling. The pages that follow are provided to help support the 

My Spelling Workbook programme. 

Page 32 can be used for pre-tests at the 

beginning of each unit and again for the final 

assessment. 

Pages 33–35 can be used to specifically 

record each word learned and the time taken 

to master a unit of words. Recording in this 

way may be useful for children with special 

needs, those with English as an additional 

language or for the whole class. 

Review sample 

Individual spelling records can be kept using 

page 36. Pre-test and final test scores are 

recorded along with anecdotal notes. These 

notes can come together as an overview of 

the child’s progress in spelling during the 18 

units and can be discussed during parent/ 

teacher conferences and in reports. 

A record of spelling results for the whole class 

can be recorded on page 37.
