Check Spelling

Overview

Check Spelling consists of 10 revision words – one word from each of the previous 10 pages and so there is no common unit of sound pattern.

Check Spelling regulates the student’s rate of progress through the Spelling program.

The student needs to get 8 out of 10 words correct to move on.

Check Spelling is a 3 pencil activity and provides revision on the Spelling program to check if knowledge is secure.

Challenge

• This activity starts at Stage 1 Page 6.
• As with the Check Words the student does not see the words first.
• Click the activity box to hear the sound as many times as needed.
• This time, the student only has one attempt at getting the word right.

Marking & Feedback

As the student progresses through the 10 words the stars turns gold when the word is correct and grey when wrong.

A minimum score of 8/10 is needed to progress to the next page.

If the student gets a score lower than 8/10, the page is set again automatically – so the tutor does not need to change anything on the program and can allow the student to continue to work independently.

On the results page, any incorrect words have the correct spelling shown above them. The student can print this page as a record and to take note of errors.
