Lifeboat Read and Spell Scheme - Book 9
Lessons and Content
The Lessons in Book 9 and Book 10 present some key spelling rules and other intricate spelling patterns which are particularly essential for whole class work and which complement the topics in Book 4 to Book 7. These lesson topics, such as 'Doubling Letters', 'Prefixes', 'Soft 'g' (j) Sound' and 'Silent Letters' have been selected for special treatment because of their complexity and due to their general importance to the English language. To maintain the integrity of the cumulative structured approach, the lessons in these two books should be presented sequentially to dovetail with lessons throughout Book 4 to Book 7, as shown in the Lifeboat Programme Structure shown in the Lifeboat Teaching Guide (click here for pdf download). But there's no Review and Post-test in Book 9 – it's included with Book 10!
