I give out Phonetic practices , write a word , break it into smaller pieces of phonics, practice each piece/chunk with the students, combine the pieces and the practice the full word. Also use the combination of visuals, auditory and kinetics, that means I take aids like flash cards or realia (visuals), give out tricky word, pronounce it , say it clearly and loudly as possible for them to listen(auditory) and finally help them write it(kinetics). This helps them know words easily.
