Despite being a practising musician all my life, I only learnt which spelling for practice/practise was which earlier this year when a colleague told me to replace practice/practise with advice/advise. As the latter is pronounced differently I now know instantly which spelling to use! Thank you for all these resources -looking forward to using them in my new classroom! :)

Good ideas, but sometimes the situation gets more worse instead of making it easier. for example, to learn the word ''because'', you have to memorize other 7 words they represent each letter.

For 'said' I have used 'silly ants in dresses' and produced a picture card of ants in dresses.

Children often get confused between the words -bought and brought. For this, I ask them to note that these are the words in past tense forms. In the word bring , there is a'r' and not in buy. And it's so in case of brought and bought.
