The words on this page are just a small snapshot of over 12,000 words found in the ‘Practice Reading and Speaking’ eBook.Whilst there are obviously many more words that can prove tricky to spell, the words in these lists tend to cause particular difficulty.

To improve spelling, the student needs to become familiar with writing the words. Sometimes there is an issue with double letters, especially in words that may appear to have two sets of double letters.  Another way to improve spelling is to learn the spelling rules. (They are contained in the Practice Reading and Speaking eBook.) However, the key to improving spelling is to have a complete and thorough understanding of phonics. When writing follows the reading of new words, it is more likely that a memory is made of the word. ‘Practice Reading and Speaking’ will help tremendously. At the bottom of each page is a scan reading or writing challenge.

When you improve spelling and correct common errors, confidence in writing will grow and less time will be spent looking up words in a dictionary or asking for help. Additionally, when you improve phonics and the ability to segment words ,it’s easier to recognise and improve spelling errors. Improve spelling by improving phonics to help a child to read and write confidently and independently . The eBook Practice Reading & Speaking includes a way for a child to assess their own writing. It tells them how to look for errors and improve different components of their writing.

Practice Reading and Speaking will help you as a parent to help your child improve spelling, reading, punctuation and writing. The author scoured many different lists of common errors in spelling and included them in the book to help improve spelling.  With this eBook you can also teach children how to edit and improve their creative writing and formal writing.

Improving spelling and reading will increase a child’s love of words, especially if you try to introduce a few new words to their vocabulary every week. If you have a love of interesting words, you will pass that on to your child. Here is the weirdest word that I have heard in a long time. It’s the name of a fish. If you’re a teacher or a parent your kids will love this word.
