Work along with the video on words that use both long and short vowel sounds.

Remember to scroll down to view all videos. 

Strategies for reading and spelling words with more than one syllable are then included in this video.  We will also be including syllable splitting patterns, and using word sums.

Use writing, or typing to practise your words again.  You can also read the words to someone else and ask them to write them.

Choose this ‘Building Speed’ video to build quick responses to both vowel sounds, spelling choices and oo.

This video includes all the speech sound to letter links that are in the first Building Speed activity as well as the letters needed for long vowels, a consonant spelling choice and oo.

Once you have the first written set of letters from watching the film, you can go over these letter-sound links again and again by asking someone else to say the sounds to you.  Remember – an automatic response to the sounds frees up brain space for the words you want to write.
