good spelling book and help boost reading

[lilli30101968]

Anybody can recommend a good spelling practice book for my 10 year old struggling not very confident in reading worried about SAT

My DS is using Spelling Tutor (www.spellingtutor.co.uk) to boost his spelling. I'm really happy with it.

It helps if a child UNDERSTANDS the basic rules of Phonics and spelling, and doesn't just learn parrot fashion but without understanding.

An inexpensive and easy to use book, that can encourage children with reading, spelling and writing is mentioned in the MN Book Reviews section. In “Children’s educational books and courses”, the Oxford Phonics Spelling Dictionary presents words by their initial SOUND, unlike a ‘normal’ dictionary, which is always in alphabetical order. Thus, in the ‘S’ section are words like ‘cinema’ and ‘cycle’, which have a ‘S’ sound, even though they are spelt with ‘C’.

The Dictionary is colourful and amusingly illustrated, and can be used by children on their own, or with adult support, from Reception age right up to the start of secondary school.
