Taming Tricky Words

Irene Peutrill
foreword by Dr. Roger Merry

Many high-frequency words do not lend themselves to ease of teaching and yet are essential to the development of reading and spelling skills.

Taming Tricky Words will help you do just that, providing an enjoyable and effective word association method which is easy to administer.

Research on the method has demonstrated that children not only readily acquire a large sight vocabulary of these words relatively quickly, but that retention is very good over extended periods.

All teaching materials are provided with lots of different reinforcement activities and detailed recording forms.

A Phonic Spelling Programme
KS1, 2, 3    AT2, 3   Levels 1, 2, 3

When it comes to phonics, this is the business.

A Phonic Spelling Programme is a thorough, well structured and entertaining phonics programme with five different approaches to the word list - wordsearches, rhyming words, word shapes, sorting sounds, crosswords and yes-no sentences for dictation and language work.

Work card sheets are also provided. Each section follows the same structure and uses the same words throughout, from consonant- vowel-consonant words through to the more complex digraphs and blends. A look, say, cover, write and check approach is used throughout.

Attractively illustrated, A Phonic Spelling Programme also features thorough, detailed recording media for both reading and spelling. The forms are suitable for setting baselines and monitoring progress. A set of achievement slips is also included.

A Phonic Spelling Programme has proved very successful in hundreds of schools.  Its range and thoroughness offer years of usefulness from Year 2 right through the primary age range and beyond.

All the phonics detailed in the Literacy Strategy are covered.

The cd edition has been revised and features joined-script overwriting sentence work. (It's cheaper too!)

The First 100
KS1-3    AT2, 3   Levels 1, 2, 3

A thoroughly comprehensive and enjoyable approach to 100 high-frequency words (96 are in the NLS Lists 1 and 2, four are in First 100 but not in the Lists: into, same, well and which). Varied activities are provided with each word list - wordsearches, cloze exercises, dominoes, sentence composition and a whole range of additional games and activities.

Activities are included for reading the high frequency words as well as spelling them.
The possibilities for ownership of working materials by involvement in their production on the part of helpers, parents and children are tremendous, as they are for home-school and S.E.N. programmes as well as class work itself.

Nets for making boxes are provided so that word cards can be stored by individual children. The game boards when copied and laminated become a permanent classroom resource. Blank cards, gameboards, box nets and so forth are provided in blank form for you or the children to use when devising your own games.

The possibilities for adaptation are phenomenal.  In addition, there is a Parents' and Helpers' Guide on spelling.

This is one of the most exciting developments in classroom resourcing you're likely to find.

You won't know how you managed without it!

Mnemonic Spelling System

'I feel more confident therefore I enjoy reading and being part of school now ... it was always a place I wanted to run away and hide from.'

'My daughter was 'statemented' [dyslexia] and shown to be '2 years behind her peers. She used this method of mnemonics to quite an amazing effect. In only 3 months she obtained level 3 in her SATs.'

Mnemonic Spelling System is very effective with children who have dyslexia.

Using mnemonics for spellings may not be new, but this particular approach is phenomenally successful. It combines a special form of mnemonic together with a catchy visual stimulus.

Mnemonic Spelling System covers 171 high-frequency words and consists of copiable flash cards, blanks for you and the children develop your own mnemonics and a Mnemonic Wordbook cover and blank page to make up personal mnemonic books.

There are full, detailed and easy-to-use record forms, contracts and certificates. Mnemonic Spelling System is an effective toolkit to help with spelling high-frequency words - especially with those children experiencing particular difficulty.

Also included is a copiable Mnemonic Maker's Workbook containing extensive lists of nouns, adjectives and adverbs, places, names, food, animals and birds and plants and trees to enable you to construct your own mnemonics.

Multi-syllabic Word Builder
KS2, 3    AT2, 3  Levels 1, 2, 3

Many multi-syllabic words can be built up from component whole words (e.g. bed-time, play-ground) or from common prefixes, suffixes and endings (un-, pre-, -ing, -tion etc).

Using this method, children can develop quite impressive vocabularies for reading and writing. Multi-syllabic Word Builder provides dozens of these 'composite' words and helps reinforce them through an overwriting method tied to a look, cover, write and check approach.

With just a few minutes' work each day, children can practise this skill, build a vocabulary and, more importantly, look for words of this kind in their reading material.

Recording and certification are included.
