Which strategy, Rule orTool

(See lesson Plan, Barkingand Dagenham.Term 1: Week2 lesson 4)

Ask individual children to comment on their work andexplain what strategies, rules or tools they thought would be mostuseful to spell the words on the sheet. For example,

I thought that in order to spell the word information itwould be best to break it

into syllables.. I thought that to spell sunshine itwould be best to think of it

as a compound word sun and shine. . We thought thatknowing the rules

about adding s to words that end in y would help tospell babies. We couldnt

agree on which strategy to use for because. You couldbreak it into syllables but

a good tool to use would be a mnemonic like big elephantscan always

understand small elephants. We thought the best way toknow how to spell

days was just by remembering it rather than by thinkingof the rule about adding

s to words that end in y.

Prompt and support theclass to ask them questions
