About this resource
Learn Spelling Rules: Doubling Letters (7-11 years)
Learn Spelling Rules: Doubling Letters (7-11 years) is a cleverly formatted teaching resource primarily aimed at educators and home schoolers guiding students in Years 3–6. This resource proves significantly beneficial to the English lessons, especially sections dealing with spelling.
Acknowledging that learning spelling rules can sometimes be a complex task for students, this resource turns the process into an exciting exercise. There are plenty of practice opportunities to ensure the kids firmly grasp these rules. Fun worksheets are available with emphasis on teaching the doubling letters rule associated with short vowel sounds in words like 'run', which becomes 'running'. Students improve language skills by identifying these patterns.
This interactive tool features Zoggy, a friendly alien who loves spelling and ensures that children easily understand challenging concepts. The interesting alien character asks learners to participate in his unique spelling workout routine which makes it easy for them to remember these rules.
- The key feature of each pack within this resource is that it focuses on different spelling rules such as dropping ‘e’ from words like 'take' when derived into another word like 'taking'. This variety prevents confusions or mix-ups among different tricks applied during the learning spellings phase.
The usability of this tool is flexible since it caters various teaching methods such as whole group lessons, small groups, cooperative learning sessions or even homework assignments depending on individual student needs. The purpose here is favouring accurate recall and application of learned rules while writing; therefore minimising errors and bad habits forming early in their language development journey.
