Students that can’t spell stop writing!
Spelling is the link between reading and writing . If a student is a good speller it tells us that they know a lot more about print.
Students need to have choices about how to communicate for the purpose. E.g txt for txt, email for different communication purposes.

Sound: What the word and parts of the word sound like
The pronunciation of words must be in the sounds in order

est - extra eg more than 'e' extra more than

When I look around my class I know that most of my student read fiction for pleasure. This confirms the importance to have non fiction as a guided reading programme.
