Spelling - Home learning - Sound ll

The Home Learning Pack for the sound 'll' provides a structured approach for children to enhance their spelling skills with words containing the double 'l'. This pack includes differentiated spelling lists, each with a set of words and a challenge word, 'smelliest', for children to learn at home. The lists contain a variety of words such as 'doll', 'ball', 'fell', and 'tallest', with space for additional words chosen by the educator or parent. The aim is to provide a comprehensive learning experience that not only focuses on spelling but also on word recognition and usage.

One of the key activities in the pack is 'Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check', a step-by-step method that encourages children to study the word, remember it, cover it, write it from memory, and then check their spelling. This technique helps to reinforce the correct spelling of words like 'doll', 'well', 'bull', and others. Furthermore, the pack includes a 'Read and Match' exercise, prompting children to match words to their correct pair and use them in sentences, thereby improving their understanding of the word in context. Additionally, a fun 'Real and Nonsense words' activity is incorporated, where children can distinguish between real words and made-up ones, such as 'rell' and 'holl', enhancing their ability to identify correct spelling patterns. This interactive element of the pack makes learning engaging and enjoyable for young learners.
