{"product_id":"spooky-halloween-spellings-harry-stanton-9781977895868","title":"Spooky Halloween Spell(ing)s: Colouring\/Activity Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Halloween-themed spelling activity book with colouring pages brings fun to learning tricky spellings. The 30 target words include haunted, cauldron, sorcerer, tombstone and werewolf, but also more frequently used words such as wicked, fright, brain and purple. Working through the pages enables the child to understand what mnemonics (memory triggers) are and how to create them to remember other difficult spellings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast summer I worked with a boy who was scared of zombies. We found a fun way to learn the spelling of 'zombie' and similar words so he could write a story as a way of conquering his fear. This activity book is for him and other children, especially if they love Halloween. It reveals 'stories' that are hidden within tricky spellings. By recalling the funny and often silly stories, the child will remember the spellings. Once they understand how the method (mnemonics) works, they can come up with their own ways of spelling any word they choose. This is how mnemonics work - they trigger our memory when we need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is not a structured spelling programme. It does not replace any part of the child's current literacy instruction at school. It complements it to help equip the children with additional ways to remember tricky spellings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's suitable for children who: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eprefer to learn by seeing and doing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ehave tried traditional spelling strategies (e.g. Look, Cover, Write, Check, and breaking words into sounds and syllables) but with limited success\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003econtinue to confuse similar sounding and similar looking words\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ehave dyslexia or other specific learning difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor other learning books from Lidia Stanton, follow the link: https: \/\/books.lidiastanton.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry Stanton, Lidia Stanton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1977895867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977895868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.05d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harry Stanton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077184450815,"sku":"9781977895868","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dca2e572-6261-4ff9-8107-a17a38a0c7fd.jpg?v=1685468686","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spooky-halloween-spellings-harry-stanton-9781977895868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
