3. Rainbow Words
Break a word down into syllables and write each part in a different colour eg; im / poss / i / ble |
| 4. Mnemonic
Write a mnemonic to remember the spelling: the first letter of each word in the sentence spells the word eg; because: big elephants can’t always use small exits. |

Write out the spelling word forwards and then backwards eg; communicate / etacinummoc |
