Word for Wednesday: Manifesto


As the UK election campaign heats up all of the main political parties have launched their election manifestos. It is now the turn of the smaller parties including The Pirate Party who according to their leader Loz Kaye, have the "first crowd-sourced manifesto" in Britain. Meanwhile The Official Monster Raving Loony Party have launched their refreshing 'Manicfesto'.

The first recorded use of the word manifesto in English was in 1620. It is of Italian origin derived from the Latin manifestum, meaning 'clear or conspicuous'. Many commentators would argue that the policies outlined in the recent political publications are anything but.

Here at Spellzone we love the uplifting messages of the Holstee Manifesto. Enjoy!

"Spellzone fits in beautifully with our Scope and Sequence of Phonological Awareness and Spelling. It also aligns perfectly with the four areas of spelling knowledge and uses the Brain, Ears, Eyes approach to learning spelling."
