What to notice when spelling these words
Use sounds in the shorter spellings
Six and ten can be stretched into three sounds and spelled in that order. Three begins with th and ends with ee. Both letter pairs stay together as you spell the word.
Compare long-vowel spellings
Five and nine both end in silent e, which helps the i spell its long sound. Four uses ou before r. In eight, the long a sound is followed by final t, but the complete spelling to remember is e-i-g-h-t.
Say longer words in spoken parts
Say seven as sev-en and listen for the v in the middle. Keeping the two spoken parts in order can help you retrieve all five letters.
Notes for particular words
two
The word two begins with a silent t. Hold on to t-w at the start, then finish with o.
