The colourful illustrations and absorbing activities in Spelling Magic will help your child to learn the spelling of ‘problem’
words in an unforgettable way. These words include ones that have an unusual letter pattern, silent letters, or
different letters to those indicated by the sound.
The strategies in Spelling Magic involve close observation of words, linking unknown to known spellings, and the use of memory rhymes to spell out other words letter by letter.
For example (an extract from Spelling Magic):
‘The words come and some can be problem words, sometimes being spelt as cum or cume and sum or sume.
