Speak and spell

Lower level students (Básico 1 and Básico 2) can greatly benefit from The British Council's new  Speak and Spell slot, where you can learn how to speak and spell English words, or improve your English pronunciation through songs, stories and games and discover spelling rules and practise your English spelling.


There are several sections in Speak and Spell.

In Sounds, listen, watch, sing and dance with Sam and Pam. Discover English phonemes with fun and interactive action songs. All of the songs are based on the UK phonics programme Letters and Sounds. Have fun while you learn to read and speak in English.

In Speak, learn how to speak English. Listen and watch adventure stories and try to hear all the English phonemes.

In Spell, learn how to spell English words. Listen and watch the adventure stories and learn how to spell. Each story has a new spelling rule so try and learn all the rules to become a good speller.

In Tricky Words, play games to practise spelling English words and print weekly spelling tests too. See how many you get right then try again! There is a special comments corner too. You can write comments and tell someone if you spot a spelling mistake in their comment!

Some of the interactive activities in Speak and Spell may require that you register with the British Council, but it is a quick process that is worth all the while.
