The "Listen-Write-Check" Protocol
Here is the most effective script you can use:
Preparation: "Everyone, please take out a piece of paper and number it 1 to 10. Put your pens down and just listen for the first sound."
The First Read (Listen): "I will say the word once. Do not write yet. Just listen to the pronunciation."
The Second Read (Write): "Now, I will say the word again. This time, please write it down clearly."
The Third Read (Check): "After we finish the list, I will read them all one last time very quickly so you can check your work."
| No. | Word | Spelling Focus |
| 1 | Dentist | Consonant clusters (-nt-) |
| 2 | Laboratory | Multi-syllabic & the "o" vowel |
| 3 | Success | Double 'c' and double 's' |
| 4 | Negotiation | The "-tion" suffix |
| 5 | Environment | The "n" before "m" (often forgotten) |
| 6 | Business | The silent "i" |
| 7 | Opportunity | Double "p" and "y" ending |
| 8 | Necessary | One "c", double "s" (a classic trap) |
| 9 | Experience | The "x" sound and "-ence" ending |
| 10 | Technology | The "ch" (k-sound) and "gy" |
