✏️ Spelling

🔍 Possible reasons

Possible reasons: the child may be memorising letter strings instead of sounds and patterns; word families may not be solid yet.

🧭 What parents can try

Break words into sounds, practise word families, and use the sound-tap game (one finger per sound).

🏡 Simple activity

The sound detective: say a word, tap the sounds, then write it. Three words a day is plenty.

📚 Recommended EduManual lessons

🤝 When to seek additional support: Persistent spelling difficulty is common and workable; ask the teacher about school strategies.
