Spelling Rules

I have created some hints within the letter shapes to help remind the students of words that make the same digraph sound.

The letter /ere/ can make lots of sounds. This is a tricky spelling to teach. It is mostly one of the reasons the students start to struggle with sight words. Even for students who are good at decoding, this is a very tricky thing to understand the r controlled clip cards have helpful mnemonic images for the sound connection.

Pairing up the right lessons with card games has given my struggling readers and spellers a great advantage.

I remind them to listen for the vowels. If it is a, o, u, use c. If it is e or i, use the k.

Which to use ck, ke, or k for the final k sound?
These visuals are another way to remind students to look and listen for the vowel sounds and names.

UFLI inspired anchor charts with words lists and picture embedded vowel teams. Visual aids for quick spelling lessons helps to draw students into reading with well organized spelling patterns.

How to teach the heart words just got easier with this mapping manual for teachers. Decoding and encoding by the spelling patterns. Sound articulations and spelling rules all organized in one place.
