Decoding and Spelling Games Bundle - Stage 1 & Stage 2

Decoding and Spelling Games Bundle - Stage 1 & Stage 2 — a bundle from PLD Literacy, aligned with Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) and classroom literacy teaching.

Over time children become more efficient in a visual and an auditory sense. For example rather than decoding the word ‘teeth’ in three parts the word may be decoded in two parts (e.g. t-eeth or tee-th). Decoding and Spelling games for Stage 1 & 2 are designed to provide further decoding practice to help students establish automatic word recognition.

Single word spelling involves three primary core base skills:

Once this spelling process has been rehearsed the students can typically spell the word automatically and often through the application of letter names ‘c-h-a-i-n’. Students will typically read better than they will spell. This is because the recognition of the words (i.e. reading) is typically much easier than the reproduction of the letter sound correspondences to

Single word phonic word attack skills require explicit instruction and repeated practice.

Once single word skills are established, they are more likely to transfer across to written work.
