How about giving them regular dictations based on the vocabulary you covered and highlighting the words they spelt correctly (hopefully there will be more of the incorrect ones)? They should rewrite the sentences correctly for the next time and you �d test them again on this vocab.

I �m afraid it �s the number of repetitions in various ways that will help them master the visual side of English. And your persistence :-)

Hi naddy11980,

I �ve had some success using many of the techniques presented on this site: http://www.spelfabet.com.au/

Don �t be worried - you don �t need to buy anything from them. Just have a look through some of their linked videos. Feel free to message me if I can help with a few materials for you.

What age are your students?

Cheers,
