We are all Spelling Specialists in Te Mahuri!
This week we have been finding fun ways to learn about sounds and practise our spelling.
Mrs Taylor's group have been using the Readiwriter programme which has made a fun change. Cooper told Ms Lange 'I have to learn the word 'questionnaire' this week!!'.
Some of Ms Lange's group have been making Kahoot quizzes to test their spelling. Look out families you are the next targets for these quiz-masters! Ms L was impressed they thought of a way to do this using Kahoot. It also means they get to practise the editing skills they have been honing in writing.
Here are some pictures of Zoe, Emma and Jhyral learning how to play 'Switch It'. This helps with listening to and identifying sounds needed and sound order in words. At the end of the session Jhryal worked out 'champion' - isn't he though!
Lovely Literacy Learning happening here! (and some alliteration too!)

Some ways families can help at home:
- getting your TM learner to write their spelling words in sentences.
- asking them to explain this week's spelling rule.
- notice words in their books, on TV that have that spelling rule.
Te Mahuri Students learn everywhere, all the time, anytime!

ReplyDeleteHi Ms Lange,s spelling group How are you? Thats a nice spelling game.I wish I was still down that end. I really want to make a kahoot. It looks like switch is a pretty fun game.
ReplyDeleteSee you later
Kia ora Cooper,
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you! We do like Switch it makes spelling seem fun and helps the class hear the different sounds. You are already good at that. We could play Switch during reading - you might have to remind me though! Would you like to make a Kahoot about something we are looking at in reading? You could check how well everyone in your group has read the texts.
Thank you
Ms Lange
