Article: FW: [senco-forum] Cued spelling

Hi Sharon
   
  I'm glad you posted about this - it looks great!  I'm going to give it a try with a pupil who has some kind of language production disorder and who needs to do this sort of thing.

  I like the sound of it, because it focuses on recall. Those neural pathways
need reinforcing, and most worksheet based programmes rely on some kind of
visual prompt, which never exists in the real writing situation - when the
kids are expected to rely on their own recall. It also reinforces
self-correction, working to your strengths and as you say, seems to put
pupils in control of their own learning.

What's more - the resources and how to run it are free on the web! Anyone
interested just type "Cued spelling" into google!

Pleased to hear your reply. (person who replied off list) 

I hope to hear from more people. 

Thanks
Sharon
