3 top ways to improve spellings:

1. Practise little and often
   Spend a few minutes each day practising spelling words. Short, regular practice helps words stick in memory much better than long sessions.

2. Use look–cover–write–check
   Look at the word, cover it up, write it from memory, then check if it’s correct. Repeat until it’s accurate.

3. Break words into smaller parts
   Split tricky words into syllables or chunks (e.g. to-geth-er or be-cause). This makes them easier to remember and spell.

 

3 top ways to improve handwriting formation:

• Practise correct letter formation regularly
  Encourage your child to start letters in the right place and follow the correct direction. Repeating this consistently helps build good habits.

• Use guided lines and patterns
  Practising on lined or patterned paper helps children control letter size and spacing, keeping writing neat and even.

• Strengthen fine motor skills
  Activities like colouring, tracing, cutting, or playing with clay improve hand control, which supports better handwriting.
