For a spelling lesson on an IWB

Introduce a spelling rule on the IWB (finding the relevant list in Wordshark using 'Search'). You might like to create a teacher account for teachers to use on IWBs with no student records in so that if the computer is left unattended for any reason no sensitive material can be accessed. 

1. For words with a given visual pattern that have photo support, you can use most of the reading games. For the spelling games, use 'Salvage' and 'Sharks' – using the ‘peep’ facility more like a ‘Look, say, cover, write, check’  method.

1. The game ‘pattern’ can be used, which isn't dependent on sound.

1. Any relevant syllable games can be used.

1. The 'Sentence' game and any photos can be used to put the words into context.
   
2. You could print out the word list (from the ‘My Play Words’ screen) on card and use these as flash cards.
   
3. You could also print the Wordsearch and Sentence games as worksheets.

For larger year group cohort

Keep an eye where individual students are placed in Supershark, (sharing this duty among staff!), and check that all are happy. Use the onscreen group report under Student Progress for this and scroll down the students. Go to Set work > Change level - Supershark button to move any student in Supershark. 

Personalised lists

1. Ask students to look at their work and identify the words they have trouble with, then create personalised word lists for them and assign the lists as set work. Bringing in images/photos would be beneficial so that the word isn’t dependant on the sound – unless you photo the word and use that as an image! 
2. Alternatively, you could sit with the student and create the personalised list/s together. The student can record their own voice.
