Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Choose the correct spelling of words children often get wrong (because, friend, beautiful, school, favourite, family), noticing silent letters and letters that are easily swapped.

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, choose the correct spelling from 3 - because (distractors becouse, becuase) - friend (distractors freind, frend) - beautiful (distractors beatiful, beautifull) - favourite (distractors favourit, favrite)

How to use it in class

Use before children write their first paragraph of the term, about 5 minutes, solo; then turn the most-missed words into a watch-out list on the wall. - For favourite, tell children the American favorite is also correct but is not offered - For friend, use the memory line a friend to the end, since the word ends in end - Play it linked to your class so scores go into the gradebook
