What is the Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check Strategy?
The Look Say Cover Write Check strategy is a simple yet effective method for helping students memorize and retain spelling words. Here’s how it works:
- Look at the word carefully.
- Say the word aloud to reinforce pronunciation.
- Cover the word to avoid peeking.
- Write the word from memory.
- Check the spelling for accuracy.
To support the Look Say Cover Write Check strategy in multi-age classrooms, this printable resource includes three variations to accommodate spelling lists of different sizes. We have included the following:
- A 10-word template for shorter lists or younger learners.
- A 12-word template for standard spelling lists.
- A 15-word template for upper-level learners
These templates provide structured practice that encourages students to develop confidence in their spelling abilities while making learning more accessible.
