What to notice when spelling these words
Begin every day name with a capital letter
The first letter is part of each correct written spelling: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday all begin with a capital letter.
Keep the ending day stable
Every word in this set ends with the same three letters, day. After spelling the different beginning, add day and check that its vowel is written with a.
Learn the different beginnings
The beginnings Sun, Mon, and Fri are fairly easy to hear. In the longer names, keep the written chunks Tues, Wednes, Thurs, and Satur before adding day. Comparing these chunks helps prevent missing letters in the middle.
