A message to my students and their parents:
Choose your level of challenge with care. Too easy and your spelling will not improve. Too difficult and you may give up! Try to select the level at which you do not make more than 4 errors when you take the test the first time.
Each week try to complete a word list.
Only spend 20-30 minutes a session - short sessions are more effective
Work on learning the spellings by using the games on the web site. Only send me a copy of the spelling test when your score is something you are pleased with. (w.shields@ivanhoe.co.uk)
