But don’t give up, just work on your spelling a little bit every day or every few days and you’ll soon see an improvement.

1. Start with the Essential Spelling Strategies Module – click here

2. Work through the Modules or choose a pattern you want to work on. Study the pattern, notice its quirks, rules, words.

• Listen to the pronunciation. Does the pattern have different sounds?
• Do an exercise on the pattern.
• Then do a spelling test – check your spelling carefully, underline the mistakes, correct them, understand them and maybe use a memory trick to help remember the pattern.
• Work on the same letter pattern again the next day.
• Use the Look Say Cover Write Check method to help you learn to spell the words you need – use it a little bit every day
• Write your thoughts, your to-do list, your problems, your achievements in the note taking box below (all notes are private)

Try the Self-assessment tests (also do these tests every week to test what you’ve learnt.)
