Many of the worksheets start with a written spelling rule which focuses on the salient feature of the spelling pattern. It is essential that the rules be emphasised by the teacher and that examples be given. Pupils who experience difficulty with spelling generally find a measure of security in the learning of rules and the mastery of just a few of them will often increase the pupil’s confidence and improve the self-image.
Exceptions to many of the rules are highlighted. Not all exceptions are provided. In the main work is provided for those which pupils are most likely to write.
The accommodation of some spelling rules may be helped by the pupil drawing a picture to represent the rule.

This may result in;
- Work avoidance strategies – poor organisation of equipment, deliberately dropping equipment on the floor etc.
- Poor handwriting to disguise poor spelling skills.
- A very poor work rate, where written work is concerned and stilted written work which does not reflect potential.
