Joy Allcock Spelling

How are we conducting our spelling programme?

Should we be teaching letters make a sound or that sounds are made by certain letters?

We are starting the Joy Allcock Spelling programme (Switched On To Spelling) and have done some light (lol) reading...

• the 'k' sound might be a c in cat and a b in king
• the long 'a' soundmight be an ay in tray but an ai in train
• ch represent 'ch' in chips, 'k' in Christmas and 'sh' in machine.

How are we going to make this easier for our children???
