When you are trying to learn a new word, use the LOOK - THINK - COVER - WRITE - CHECK method to memorize it. Step 1: LOOK carefully at the new word. How can you break it into smaller bits? Do any of the smaller bits remind you of the patterns of letters from other words? Step 2: THINK about the parts of the words which might cause problems - double letters for instance, or a vowel that isn't pronounced as you would expect. Step 3: COVER the word and close your eyes. Try to see it in your mind. Step 4: WRITE the word down without looking back. Step 5: CHECK to see if you're right. If not, look carefully at where you went wrong and try again. Thanks Ms. Ferraez ;)
