Explanations
“To learn my word I can listen to how many syllables there are so I can break it
into smaller bits to remember. Then I can identify the phonemes in each syllable”
e.g. Sep-tem-ber
“To learn my word I can find my word root. I can see whether the root has been
changed when new letters are added, e.g. for a prefix, suffix or a tense change.”
e.g. smiling –root smile + ing
“To learn my word I can use words that I already know to help me.”
e.g could: would, should
“To learn my word I can remember and practise the direction and movement of my
pencil when I am writing it.”
“To learn my word I can make up a sentence to help me remember it.”
e.g. could – O U Lucky Duck
