Activities for Successful Spelling is an incredibly practical resources for KS2 and KS3 English teachers. Covered in the text are sections on: managing phonics, syllables, plurals, homophones, root words, prefixes and suffixes, which are then explored through multi-sensory activities including word searches, crossword puzzles and dictation exercises. Worksheets are ready to print, which makes this an essential tool for any English teacher. However the book is equally resourceful as a source of ideas, and therefore useful for teachers to adapt the worksheets to different ages and abilities.

The spelling programme within the book is linked with The National Literacy Strategy and can be used in both mainstream classrooms, for pupils undertaking additional literacy support, and for supporting pupils with dyslexia and dyspraxia. Packed with exercises to help pupils with their spelling, this book is an essential teaching tool for every English classroom, and is highly recommended for both new and experienced teachers.
