DCs and I are just starting our second year living abroad but I want to make sure they keep up with their peers in the UK with English spelling.
DD should really be doing KS2 but as she has had difficulties at school due to undiagnosed deafness, I thikn she will benefit from going over the basics.
I´m a secondary school teacher in English so feel quite confident about how to do it. What I am looking for and can´t find is the best order in which to do it. I got the CGP book which is useful to an extent but actually covers fairly few spelling rules. I also looked at the National Curriculum which just seems to be a list of what they should know which does´t help me much.
Could anyone point me in the right direction of a good programme, please? Or have any other suggestions.
I do read to them daily but they themselves are not keen readers, although they both read well if I ask them to read to me. They do a few of their school subjects in English and have English lessons but obviously this is at a lower level than in the UK. My son loves to do dictations, which helps!
Thank you for reading. I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
