Whole School Literacy: A Spelling intervention for 11-16’s with easy to follow Teacher’s Notes, a Student Worksheet pack and PowerPoint.
Reviews Dropping the ‘e’ rule and teaches the y to i rule.

Suitable for delivery by non-specialist teachers and assistants. Features a variety of engaging activities designed to equip pupils with the skills needed to spell a wide variety of subject-specific keywords. This unit builds on the Spelling with Morphemes and the Dropping the ‘e’ rule introduced in Intervention 1, and teaches the ‘y to i’ rule, e.g. how the ‘y’ in ready changes to ‘i’ in readiness.

Pupils learn to build and spell new words correctly by adding affixes to base morphemes and to separate them into their components. Learning to spell with morphemes is vastly more efficient than the endemic look-cover-write model. Far fewer, shorter words need to be memorised and students are equipped with the tools to construct longer, less familiar words with confidence. For example, the morpheme ceive is the basis for words such as: conceiving, inconceivably, receivership, deceiver, perceive, etc.

Sound Foundations was begun in the early 2000’s by phonics pioneers who helped to revolutionise the way writing and spelling are taught in UK Schools (See Rose Review). Since then, our books have been used by thousands of schools, private tutors and home-schoolers in the UK and all around the world, but Sound Foundations is still a small family organisation; we reply to your emails and answer your calls!

**Sound Foundations **resources are designed for use by non-specialist Teaching Assistants and parents, and have regularly been improved in response to their feedback. They are literally just ‘pick-up-and-go’. Many sample lessons can be downloaded from TES.

Keep an eye on this TES site - we will be uploading lots more useful content soon.
