3 top ways to improve spellings:
-
Practise little and often
Spend a few minutes each day practising spelling words. Short, regular practice helps words stick in memory much better than long sessions. -
Use look–cover–write–check
Look at the word, cover it up, write it from memory, then check if it’s correct. Repeat until it’s accurate. -
Break words into smaller parts
Split tricky words into syllables or chunks (e.g. to-geth-er or be-cause). This makes them easier to remember and spell.
3 top ways to improve handwriting formation:
-
Practise correct letter formation regularly
Encourage your child to start letters in the right place and follow the correct direction. Repeating this consistently helps build good habits. -
Use guided lines and patterns
Practising on lined or patterned paper helps children control letter size and spacing, keeping writing neat and even. -
Strengthen fine motor skills
Activities like colouring, tracing, cutting, or playing with clay improve hand control, which supports better handwriting.
