Spelling Play
Spelling Play. Dalla presentazione del sito: “Teachers should be free to teach. They should be able to plan, create, adapt, innovate and deliver lessons that really work. Far too often where spelling is concerned, it is really hard to do any of these things because the precious preparation time that we have gets spent on: clarifying the intricacies of the subject knowledge needed (and English spelling has some very intricate subject knowledge); searching our brains, the internet, various documents for words that follow particular rules; typing up wordlists and wordcards; searching for ideas and activities for learning and rehearsing and, as if that wasn’t enough, creating all the resources (interactive or otherwise) needed to carry out these activities. Previously, we at least had some guidance documents to turn to (Spelling bank, Support for Spelling etc) but they no longer match up neatly with the new curriculum.
It makes no sense to me that teachers across the country are recreating the wheel in this way. SpellingPlay aims to put subject knowledge, words, teaching and rehearsal ideas and both interactive and printable resources in one place so that teachers are free to do the important stuff – create more personalised resources when they are needed, adapt things to really suit their children, reflect on the best ways to bring spelling teaching to life and (most importantly) make it fun and effective. In short, it is what I would want in place as a starting point for teaching spelling. I hope others find it a useful starting point also”.
