🌈 Sensory Spelling Superstars in Redwoods! 🌈

This week in Redwoods, we have been developing our spelling knowledge and memory through a range of fun, multisensory activities.

Research shows that children learn best when they can see, say, hear and do, so we explored our spelling words using lots of different senses. The children enjoyed making their spelling words with playdough, helping them to think carefully about the order of the letters while strengthening their fine motor skills.

We also practised writing our words in glitter, making spelling a hands-on and memorable experience. To reinforce our learning further, we created rainbow spellings, writing each word several times in bright colours. This encouraged us to look closely at the patterns within words and helped the spellings stick in our memories.

The children showed fantastic enthusiasm and concentration throughout these activities. They were eager to explore different ways of learning and demonstrated great resilience when tackling challenging spellings.

By using a multisensory approach, we are building confidence, improving spelling recall and developing a deeper understanding of how words are constructed.

⭐ Well done, Redwoods, for your excellent effort and super spelling skills this week! ⭐
