The Phonics Screening Check is undertaken in Key Stage 1 and is supposed to indicate a child's understanding of phonics.
As part of the check, children are asked to read words. Some real; others made up (pseudo):
How about turning that on its head when studying phonics, reading, writing and spelling across primary (and maybe even secondary) education?:
When studying a spelling, ask the children for examples of how it could be spelt. There are 44 phonemes. How can they be rearranged and swapped to create the same sound, but a different spelling: fone, phone, phowne, fowne...
Which one looks right, do all the suggestions look likely, how could this be useful for spelling new words?
