<strong>riddles and puzzles  involving changing, replacing and matching letters require careful phonological analysis of the word<\/strong> or maybe even  manipulation of sounds. <strong>Word games<\/strong> like crosswords and cross puzzles are instead <strong>extremely effective for boosting lexical knowledge<\/strong>.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"maggio23\">The definitions allow those  solving the puzzles to conjure up mental representations of the words, which  are then fixed in their long-term memory, with both semantic and spelling  analysis.&nbsp;<br \/>\nWord games therefore assume a certain importance  in lexical enrichment and greater awareness of spelling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"maggio23\"><strong>Puzzles<\/strong> in general&nbsp;<strong>allow both  phonological and semantic-lexical strategies to be stimulated<\/strong>.  Above all, in a language with transparent spelling like Italian, it is only  through the use of a lexical strategy that it is possible to retrieve the  correct spelling of words with irregular or ambiguous spelling, for example:  scienza\/scenza (science), liquore\/licuore (liqueur).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"maggio23\"><strong>All the puzzle material that has traditionally been considered as recreationa<\/strong>l and little more than a pastime <strong>in this series becomes the essential means for integrating motivation and specific training<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\">\n<p class=\"maggio23\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erickson.international\/en\/belma-special-prize\/\">The Mini spelling detective stories series is the winner of the 2017 BELMA Special Prize!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END ROW --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mini spelling detective stories &nbsp; Fun play books for practising spelling in primary school An innovative series, conceived by Susi Cazzaniga and Silvia Baldi, which turns spelling, often considered boring and frustrating by children, into an opportunity for implicit learning and active enjoyment.
