My daughter’s class is practising the tricky words of / do / to / I.
She’s pretty solid with them now, so I turned today’s revision into a quick word search.
It’s short, predictable and gives her that “I can do this” feeling in under two minutes. 🧵

Turns out setting up the word search activity was more complicated than I expected. 😅 But it's finally done.

It's so nice to hear confident words from your kids. Even before he started the word search, he said: "I'll be good at this, because I'm good at mazes!"
Also, word search activity coming soon to the site :D

✨Book update✨ Another 'days of the week' activity type.
A while back I've read that repeated, incremental patterns help with memorisation. It also breaks away of just drilling the word on its own.

I used to panic that my dyslexic child would never love books the way I do.
He loved being read to — chapter books, bedtime stories, anything.
But when it came to him reading? He’d do anything to avoid it. 🧵

Here’s my step-by-step process for making spelling a 15-minute daily habit.
If you’re trying to fit practice into real life:
Step 1: Pick one set time (e.g. before dinner).
Step 2: Keep materials ready — no setup faff.
Step 3: Use one or two short, engaging worksheets.

Here are 5 things scarier than 👻 ghosting your projects:
1. Spending hours making the “perfect” worksheet no one uses
2. Waiting for the right time that never comes
3. Letting comparison stop you from experimenting

3 ways to avoid ghosting your goals:
1. Have a plan - for us it is having the rule of homework before screen time
2. Have a backup to your plan - well, it's half term here, so there might have been some pre-homework screen time
