Some of these spellings are less predictable, so they are best learned through repeated practice. Paying attention to pronunciation will help make these tricky words easier to remember.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
