Double consonants can be very tricky to master. It is easy for children to forget that there are double letters as they only hear one sound. Use household items to spot double letters hiding in words. 

Use a 'Magic e’ spelling wheel to show how this spelling magic works! A silent ‘e’ at the end of words makes the vowel say its own name, changing the vowel sound from short to long.

When progressing to more difficult texts, writing begins to replace images and children must rely more on creating their own mental images of what is happening in a story. The more we encourage this skill in the early years, the easier it will be for children to do this independently as they begin to graduate to higher level texts.
