      Tips to help you become a super speller!

      When you have found a word you need in the dictionary, try to learn how to spell it using the “Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check” strategy:

Look	at the word carefully. Look at its shape and length. Look at the letters in it to see if there are any letter patterns that might help you remember how to spell it in future, for example, bright, light, tight.
Say	the word out loud. Think about how the word sounds! Can you spell a word that sounds like it? Does your word have a similar sound pattern in it? Sound out the word and try to spell it.
Cover	the word up so you cannot see it.
Write	the word down without looking at it in the dictionary. As you do this, think about how the word looks! Does it look right? Is it the right shape? Is it the right length?
Check	that you have written it correctly.
