Zoggy Waves Goodbye: Revise Spelling Tricky Longer Words, such as, 'gn, in gnat and 'sch' in school - Teacher Notes

"Zoggy Waves Goodbye" is a teacher's resource aimed at helping children aged 7-11 years to tackle and master the spelling of tricky longer words. The pack is designed to revise challenging spellings that often trip up young learners, such as the silent 'gn' in "gnat", the 'ph' in "dolphin", the 'tion' in "conversation", and the 'gh' in "ghost". With the help of Zoggy, a quirky alien character, children are invited to engage in a fun and interactive learning experience that makes spelling far from dull.

The resource includes a series of 12 graded spelling challenges, complete with spelling tests, focusing on those words or sound patterns that are typically difficult for children. Zoggy returns with his entertaining cartoons, messages from planet Zen, and his unique rhymes and mnemonics that help embed these 'tricky words' into the memory of young learners. The packs advocate a multi-sensory approach to learning, encouraging children to say the word, repeat rhymes, sound it out, read it, write it, and then cover and spell it again. This variety of methods ensures that each child can find a way of learning that works best for them, making the process of spelling revision both effective and enjoyable.
