    Your word journey

    From sounds to super spellings

    Start where you feel comfortable. Every lesson has five words, a little explanation and a chance to try from memory.

    For grown-ups: how the practice works

    Use short, relaxed sessions. Say the word, listen for its sounds, connect those sounds with letters, and explain the spelling pattern. Later lessons explore base words, prefixes, suffixes and unexpected spellings. Children study the five examples before recalling them with the spelling hidden.

    Practice gives feedback immediately and revisits missed words once. A school practice test saves feedback for the end. Try again on another day to strengthen recall. A completed lesson earns one star; copying and correction attempts do not count towards remembered words.

    This is supplementary practice, not a complete phonics programme. Follow the order and pronunciations used at school. The examples use British English; accents vary.

    Read the evidence: EEF on systematic phonics, England’s English curriculum, and IES on spacing and recall.
