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 memorise and retain spelling words. Here’s how it works:

  1. Look at the word carefully.
  2. Say the word aloud to reinforce pronunciation.
  3. Cover the word to avoid peeking.
  4. Write the word from memory.
  5. 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 practise that encourages students to develop confidence in their spelling abilities while making learning more accessible.
