Sounds Alive help

 Our spelling programme at school is based on Sounds Alive.  These are the steps: > - remember to write your sound lines under the letters
 * 1) Say the word
 * 2) Conduct the word into chunks
 * 3) Use your 'Tool hand' to separate the word in to individual sounds
 * 1) Blend the word back together (say the word again slowly)
 * 2) Sample the word 3 times to find the closest match in a dictionary
 * 3) Confirm or deny how the word is spelt

 eg birthday  CONDUCT: birth day  TOOL: __b__ __ir__ __th__ __d__ __ay__  SAMPLE: birfday berthday birthday
