Emily, from Wrexham, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
Fun spelling game to determine which words your child needs some help with.
1. Write down or cut out words and ask your child to spell them
2. If they spell it correctly put the word in the friends tub
3. If they spell it incorrectly put it in the enemies tub
4. Choose 5-8 words to practice with, when they can spell a word 3 days in a row move it to best friends and add a new word to your pile
Feedback showed some people would prefer to use different words or a traffic light system to label the jars.
