This carefully crafted set of reading and spelling cards redefines the way you approach spelling and decoding, making learning both enjoyable and effective. These 'sign' cards not only enable students to recognise and create words like 'signature', 'design', and 'significant', but they also immerse learners in the dynamics of language through hands-on practice. Unlike traditional flashcards, these cards come alive during multi-sensory activities. Whether you're practising spellings with window pens or enjoying a game of Snakes and Ladders—reading a word like 'signal' or 'assignment' with each turn—there’s endless potential for creativity in your teaching.
As a dyslexia specialist, I understand the importance of diverse learning methods to cater to each student’s needs. At the end of this document, you will find a progress tracking table to monitor your learner’s improvements over time.

As a dyslexia specialist, I aim to transform the way you engage with language, making it an enjoyable and effective learning experience.
These carefully crafted sheets encourage you to use a variety of methods that tap into visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic modalities, enhancing your spelling skills while fostering a deeper understanding of the word's meaning and application. I believe that by incorporating different sensory experiences, learners can build confidence and lasting connections to their spelling work.

This little set of ‘test’ themed resources is a gentle way to try out how I teach spelling, morphology and vocabulary, without committing to full price.
Each one is 75% off for a limited time and works well as a standalone activity or as a taster before diving into the other packs.
Ideal for: home educators, 11+ candidates and anyone wanting a low cost starting point.
This downloadable pack explores the root ‘test’ (from Latin testari, meaning to witness or affirm). It includes a clear set of printable word cards designed for spelling, reading, and vocabulary practice – with a focus on how words are built.
All words in this set contain the root ‘test’ (e.g. attest, protestation, testimony, untestable), and are organised for ease of printing. These cards are not flashcards in the traditional sense – they’re designed to be used within play-based, sensory-rich tasks. Check out a scroll-through of the resource.
Included in the pack:
✅ 36 word cards featuring the root ‘test’
✅ A simple tracker to monitor blending and reading fluency
✅ 40+ activity suggestions using tactile, oral, visual, and movement-based approaches
Examples include:
• Writing with window pens or tracing in salt
• Playing Snakes and Ladders with a word per turn
• Echo reading, silly sentences, and morpheme matching
• Body spelling, hopscotch games, and torchlight hunts
These activities are especially supportive for learners who benefit from movement, repetition, and meaning-driven reading. The tracking sheet allows you to note when a word can be blended or read automatically – helpful for both planning and celebrating progress.
Decode big words like ‘testament’ and ‘protester’ — morpheme by morpheme.
This downloadable literacy pack helps children explore the morpheme ‘test’ (meaning to witness or to examine), using a Structured Word Inquiry (SWI) approach.

Inside the pack:
A complete set of morpheme cards (in both colour-coded and neutral green versions)
