Spelling Patterns

Poems also provide opportunity for talking about different spelling patterns for consonants and vowels.

For example, /k/ is typically spelt as 'k' or 'ck' in word-final position.

The vowel in ‘hawk’ has several different spellings, eg 'or' as in 'fork', 'al' as in 'walk', 'augh' as in 'caught', 'aw' as in 'hawk'.

The word lists in the Free Resource Library double as excellent spelling lists. Apply
