    I am on a committee which is working on the new literacy and numeracy strategy. We are thinking about focusing on spelling this year and see if we can track an improvement. What are you doing in your school? What tools are you using to show an improvement ~ all advice and help appreciated! Thanks

    We have introduced Brendan Culligan's spelling system from 1st up, a great success and the written work children produce has improved too.

    I had a quick look online for that book but it seems to be out of print, will ask at school and see if anyone has a copy. Thanks for the tip ~ will add it to the list for discussion.
