Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Let learners spell given words with invented spellings. Each group tries to write the correct spelling. The group to get the highest number of words spelt correctly is regarded as the Spelling Champion for the work.
- Give learners the meanings of words to identify and spell the words.
- Learners use the words they have spelt in sentences of their own.
- Select registers of various subjects/topics (shopping, transportation, agriculture).
- Guide learners to spell the appropriate vocabulary used in that context.
- Let learners use the words in writing a short paragraph describing or narrating that activity (shopping, travelling by bus, making a farm, catching fish).
