Strategies to improve proof reading and spelling
- Explicit teaching and modelling of the process
- Daily expectations to form letters correctly and spell high frequency words correctly reinforcing visual memory
- Stand up and turn around - now you are a reader
- Practise class pronunciation of words to develop correct sounds
- Visual aids
- Cut up sentences to discuss parts of a sentence
- reread yesterdays writing
- Use models - children's own writing examples around the room, quality published pieces of text
- Word Search (lower case only, horizontal only to develop good visual recognition)
- Sound boxes
- Proof reading in a structured way - 1st punctuation, 2nd meaning
- Dictation - Read whole sentence, children repeats then writes. Proof read.
- Make it multi sensory!!!!
