Description
This book is a Resource Book for both Teachers and Students. Book 4 Phonics & Spelling is not an individual Student Practice Workbook in which students write, as older mainstream upper primary students no longer benefit from Rainbow Writing. The writing of sounds and spelling words is now practised in year appropriate exercise books. In the classroom, the teacher need only purchase one Book 4 Phonics & Spelling. If teachers wish, they are allowed to photocopy the Sound Reference Pages and Weekly Spelling Lists in Books 4 to 7 Phonics & Spelling only, to insert into student’s own exercise books. Weekly Spelling Lists often have more words than are required giving teachers the flexibility to choose appropriate spelling lists for average, support and extension students. Book 4 Phonics & Spelling is also a valuable resource book for students and parents to purchase and use at home.
In Book 4 Phonics & Spelling there is a focus on many new word endings set out to show students how similar sounds have different spelling choices. All sounds being learnt have a Sound Reference Page that shows a ‘sound picture’ and all the main letters or letter combinations that spell the sound. Vowel, blend and consonant sounds and word endings are colour-coded for easy student identification. Book 4 spelling lists are mainly two syllable with some three syllable words. Book 4 Phonics & Spelling includes a Content Overview and Scope and Sequence, as well as Learning Method Instructions. Spelling words where it is helpful link to Write2Spell2Read’s ‘Spelling Rules & Guidelines’ book and purchase of this additional book is essential. A Memory Grid Activity is included to improve working memory.
Recommended for Year 4 teachers and students. Purchase of the Spelling Rules & Guidelines book that links with weekly spelling lists is essential.
