AL Ww/E3.2 Use phonic knowledge to help spelling

Adult Literacy Core Curriculum (DfES 2001): writing / word focus / spelling  (phonics)

Ww/E3.2 Use their developing knowledge of sound-symbol relationships and phonological patterns to help spell a greater range of words and longer words, as appropriate for the needs of the learner

  • Understand that knowing spelling patterns (e.g. common letter strings, visual patterns, analogies) reduces the chance of random errors
  • Understand that there is not always a strict sound-symbol association in spelling, e.g. silent letters
  • Understand how segmenting words into phonemes, and breaking them into syllables (beats) or components (compounds) helps work out spelling
