Semantic pragmatic disorder - teaching spellings

Colin-pilot

Hi all, I am after some advice and tips. My son is 11, he is enjoying schooling but is struggling. The schools are providing great support, however, he is required to learn spelligs each week and he is tested. I have been trying different ways to help but I at a lose.

I am not sure if it's because he mispronounces the words and this leads to an incorrect spellings, although this does not apply when is pronounces the word correctly and stills gets the incorrect spelling.

Typical words he is required to learn:

according, national, programme, beautiful.

Any tips tricks great appreciated.

thanks

    Another life lesson that your son might find useful is that it's sometimes OK to fail

    For our children, we were never bothered if they failed at things that didn't matter to us or that they really struggled with. So, when they were in the bottom set for French or R.E. then we simply didn't turn a hair. He needs to know that it's great to be good at something but that nobody can be great, or even good, at every subject. Emphasize his strengths to him rather than his weaknesses.
