Using Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check
Now what are the benefits to this spelling strategy?
Firstly, the technique is pretty self-explanatory. Your child needs to看看这个词,说出来,掩盖这个词的y can visualise in their mind how it is spelt, then write and checkif they have spelt it correctly.
By using this technique, students are not just able to work on their writing skills — they’re able topractise their verbal and reading skills by saying the words aloud.
With the English language,a lot of words may sound different to the literal spelling of the word, because of all the different rules we have, such as silent letters, homophones, and so on! So it’s definitely important to practise saying words while also reading and writing them.
Writing and checking also allows room for improvement, and recognising when mistakes are made with the spelling of words.
