Can Children learn to spell words through phonetics? ?
Yes they can my grandson learnt this way and he is streaks ahead of his class mates now and though he is only 8 he has the reading capability of a 12 year old. His Mother taught him the phonetic alphabet before he went to school as did I with all three of my children. I’m not sure whether this link will be of any help you, if not try googling Phonetic spelling. Also on the BBCIpod you will be able to catch up with this weeks programme about teaching children to spell it was first aired on Tuesday evening I believe. A real eye opener news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6250184.s… – Good luck nice to see someone’s taking an interest in the importance of spelling as it teaches a child to read a whole lot quicker and helps them also to understand what they are reading.
