1.5 Writing Words 1
You are here: Shapes and Sounds Part 1 > Lesson 7 - n > 1.5 Writing Words 1

Work along with the video, or learn how to do these activities with someone else.

Each word is demonstrated using 'sound circles' so that you can work in a step by step way from the sounds heard to the letters written.  You can choose to:

  • go through all the sounds first and then write the letters
  • draw each sound and the letter needed one at a time, or
  • hold the sounds in your head and then write the whole word

If you are learning how to do these activities to work with someone else, then demonstrate them all and wait to see which one they prefer.  We all need to work in a way that suits us best.

Take your time.  Accuracy needs to come before speed.
