ABSTRACT

*This workbook should be used alongside the storybook, Who Put the Spell into Spelling?*

This illustrated workbook has been created to support learners who, after acquiring the basics of reading and writing, have struggled to organically grasp the rules that govern spelling in the English language. Each photocopiable worksheet is designed to support a key spelling rule, explored in the colourful storybook Who Put the Spell into Spelling? This activity workbook is designed to be used alongside the storybook.

Key features include:

  • Twenty-two activity worksheets designed to help learners understand and practise key spelling rules
  • Activities designed to support skills in reading, spelling and writing
  • Quirky illustrations designed to make the rules come to life

Developed with feedback from teachers and students, this is an invaluable resource for teachers and parents looking to support learners who find spelling a challenge, or who are learning English as an additional language.
