<strong>Spelling</strong> Timetable<br />
<strong>Teacher</strong>s can use the activities in <strong>My</strong> <strong>Spelling</strong> <strong>Workbook</strong> to suit the needs of their class and the<br />
amount of time available for spelling.<br />
A 10-day spelling programme for each list is suggested below, as a way of using this workbook.<br />
It allows for 25 minutes each day, which could be a combination of class work and homework.<br />
<strong>Teacher</strong>s may wish to add or delete from this timetable, according to their needs.<br />
