DD (8 - Y3) is doing really well at school, loves all aspects and is diligent, achieving great level and effort scores across the board.
The one thing she struggles with a bit is her spellings. Brilliant at learning for tests, or if I ask her to spell something ad hoc, she will probably get it right, but then moving this across to her written work it all falls apart a bit. Which is a shame, because the creativity of her written work and the content and ideas are very good so if we could improve consistency with spellings it would be great. I don't want to just do lots of rote learning if we can avoid it, but we need to practice key words and spelling "rules" somehow to help her with this. She knows that she finds this a bit difficult, so obviously I don't want to knock her overall confidence in producing her work, just help her on this one aspect.
Any great apps or other ideas? I'm happy to use iPad or online tools, and make it fun for her.
