Remember the basic instructions?
- Say the word/Say the rule
- Spell the word (write it down)
- Say the word again
- Look away
- Say it/Spell it/Say it--Check it
You will see slides with a spelling list word...
+ there will often be a spelling rule next to it
A) Looking at the screen, say the word out loud...notice the shape of the word, the number of letters, etc...then say the rule out loud...
B) Spell the word (don't just spell letters out loud)--very important: WRITE IT DOWN!
Looking at the screen while writing is not cheating...it is good...writing it properly helps imprint proper spelling in the automatic memory part of your brain...
C) Say the word out loud again when you are done writing it down correctly...
D) Now, look away from the screen, and turn your written word over so it can't be seen either...
E) Using a second sheet of paper, say the word out loud, then spell it by writing it down, then say it out loud one more time...
F) Check your spelling.
If correct, go to the next slide...
Important: if you made a mistake, fix it right away--say the correct letters as you write them down...try the word slide again starting at A)...you will immediately get stronger...

frighten the sound "ite" can be "i-g-h-t"
- Say it and say the rule
- Spell the word (write it down)
- Say the word again
- Look away
- Say it/Spell it/Say it--Check it
REMEMBER:
That "i-g-h-t" spelling comes from an Old English way of pronouncing the letter combination...
...but it is confusing because we shifted the sound of "i-g-h-t" to say "ite"...
And just to be more tricky, we kept many other words in English that say "ite" and are actually spelled "i-t-e"

polite the sound "ite" can be spelled "i-t-e"
- Say it and say the rule
- Spell the word (write it down)
- Say the word again
- Look away

FUN FACT:
In the word "polite," the silent "e" at the end is there to help the "i" say its own name...
How would the word sound if there was "e" on the end? How would it sound if the word was spelled
"polit"?
See how the "e" helps the "i" say its name in the word "polite"?
So anytime you see a word ending in the combination of vowel-consonant-"e"...
The silent e is helping first vowel to say its name...
For example:
hat versus hate
cod versus code
Etc...
That little silent "e" changes the sound and--especially--the meaning of a word...
Pretty powerful!

"hour" vs. "our" vs. "are"
- Three very different words people get mixed up...
- Say: "hour with an 'h' is a chunk of time"
- Say: "our without an 'h' means belongs to us"
- Say: "our without an 'h' is not meant to sound like 'are'"
- Say: "are, a-r-e, is part of the verb To Be...I am, you are, they are..."
