Extension Spelling Lists.pdfessential spelling lists nz template.pdfSpelling Menu.pdfGood spellers have the ability to spell common words, use knowledge of letters and chunks to assist in spelling new words, know how words are structured and make links to other words, use visual memory to decide if the word looks right and use resources to check words.
