What to try:
- Alphabet Arc – use magnetic letters or cut out letters. Ask your child to lay them out in alphabetical order in an arc, like a rainbow. Show your child a flashcard and then cover it up. Ask your child to find the letters from the arc which spell the word. Move the letters down to spell the word.
- Use the Nessy Learning Programme if you have been given access to it from home
- Vocabulary book – make lists of useful topic words. Group words together in categories. Write the word, what it means and draw or cut and stick a picture as a visual clue.
- Squeezy bottle writing – fill up a plastic bottle with water and then squirt out the water making ‘water writing’.
