Teac he r

Teaching and learning spelling are progressive processes, which are structured in this scheme by marrying phonics with ‘common words’. Students learn best when spelling is taught systematically and in a structured manner over time. Spelling needs explicit instruction for the majority of students, particularly for those who fail to ‘catch it’ because of inherent difficulties. The NLS framework for teaching (Beard 1998) recommended that successful management of the teaching of spelling should include structured teaching, which involves the following, all of which are an integral part in the Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD series:

This phonic-based, multisensory spelling series introduces strategies that feature Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write and Check. The series promotes independent learning of spelling in context and features a proven metacognitive approach. This metacognitive approach encompasses logical and systematic thinking, combined with the skills of visualisation, emotion and creativity. By using all aspects of thinking, students not only learn how to spell but also learn how to retain and use these words in context.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

The first section of the book has been designed to consolidate initial‚ medial and final sounds. Activities require students to exercise both auditory and visual discrimination in readiness for introducing simple spelling strategies.

It is anticipated that teachers will use the activities in this first section of the book to monitor students’ progress. Success with these preliminary activities using initial‚ medial and final sounds will indicate a student’s readiness for the more formal spelling units which follow.

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super

To give students the best chance for success in this preliminary stage‚ a variety of strategies can be used to enhance the learning of initial‚ medial and final sounds. These strategies include:

making class lists of words with the same initial sound using alphabet books‚ charts and mobiles using flashcards playing ‘mystery letter’ sound and identification games labelling familiar classroom objects with initial or final sounds • visual discrimination tasks such as ‘spot the difference’ • handwriting activities which promote directionality • • • • •

• activities which promote one-to-one correspondence • singing simple rhymes and songs • magazine hunts for individual letters or objects beginning or ending with a given sound • tracing letters over textured surfaces such as sandpaper or felt • writing letters using a variety of media such as paint‚ crayon or chalk • writing a letter on sand or on a partner’s back to be guessed.

Note: Answers for pages 2–21 have not been provided; teacher check is required.

Spelling: Workbook teachers guide—R.I.C. Publications®—www.ricpublications.com.au

Teacher Information Four two-page units of work have been included as a transition into the formal spelling units which can be found throughout the remainder of the Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD series.

These two-page units introduce spelling systematically and use activities in keeping with familiar reading strategies‚ such as sounding out words‚ looking at word shapes‚ breaking words into ‘chunks’ and using picture cues.

The first page of each unit contains the list words. It is recommended that these words are introduced by the teacher and displayed for the students prior to completing workbook activities.

Teac he r

To assist in the development of the concept of rhyme‚ word building strips for Units 1–8 have been included as an additional introductory activity and can be found on pages 37–42 of this teachers guide.

Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write, Check – This represents the basic method recommended for word learning. Students should follow this multisensory process when learning each word. It is a proven method of retaining a word in the memory and should be a procedure that is followed consistently, to assist with the learning of further words.

ew i ev Pr

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Each list focuses on one or more phonic word patterns and two commonly used words. The students should be encouraged to identify the rhyming list words and to attempt to spell other words which rhyme with these word families.

Each word list table has a series of columns. After learning each word, students should hide their word with their hand and write it in the first ‘Practise’ column. This should be repeated after a few days, but written into the second ‘Practise’ column.

To help evaluate his/her progress, if the student spells the word correctly in the test, a tick should be placed in the ‘T’ column. A tick should be placed in the ‘D’ column if the word is spelt correctly in the dictation.

Problem words can be recorded in the ‘Difficult Words I Have Found’ table on page 74, for revision.

Say each letter aloud: either as its letter name or its sound.

Trace each letter as the sound is said. This will reinforce the kinaesthetic movement and sound pattern and become a physical and auditory memory.

Spelling Timetable Teachers can use the activities in Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD to suit the needs of their class and the amount of time available for spelling.

A five-day spelling program for each list is suggested as a way of using this workbook. It allows for 25 minutes being set aside each day‚ which could be a combination of class work and homework. Teachers can add to or delete from this timetable‚ according to their needs.

The timetables on this page are based on the activities in Units 1–4 and Units 5–15 respectively. They are based on a metacognitive approach‚ which is explained in detail on the following pages.

Metacognitive Approach Aim: To encourage students to become successful independent spellers and thinkers.

Introductory Stage • Each category of questioning (clarifying‚ literal‚ inferential‚ personal‚ visualising‚ predictive‚ summarising and reflective) should be explained to the students. It is important that they understand what kind of question they are asking.

• Not all cards will be relevant to every situation; on occasion‚ they will be.

• Some of the questions may appear to be the same but are repeated under different categories. This is because the context is different and this should be explained to the students.

Preparation Stage

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Modelling Stage

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• The teacher chooses a suitable spelling word. A word that encompasses all the categories of questions is better. However‚ it should be stressed that not all categories are relevant to every word; for example: ‘forgot’.

• The cards are displayed for all students to see. Teachers might prefer to enlarge the cards to A3 when photocopying or laminate them. (See pages 6–13.)

• The teacher models a word; for example: ‘forgot’. The teacher demonstrates the thinking process involved by applying the questions suggested in the relevant categories and ‘talking’ through his or her answers.

• Allowing students to interact with the teacher using this process can be very productive.

Explanation of Question Types Clarifying questions are questions that make words‚ phrases or concepts clear and understandable.

© R. I .

C.Publ i cat i ons •f orr evi ew pur posesonl y•

For example: What is the word? forgot

What does this word mean?

didn’t remember

Can the word be broken into smaller sounds?

for­/got

m . u

w ww

Literal questions are questions that have a straightforward answer found in the text.

For example: What is the tricky part of the word?

o c . che e r o t r s super

Inferential questions are questions that ask a student to deduce answers from the text.

Break the word into two little words: for‚ got.

Inferential Questions

Spelling: Workbook teachers guide—R.I.C. Publications®—www.ricpublications.com.au

For example: Can I think of some other way to help remember how to spell

this word?

8

. te

Personal questions are questions that are relevant to oneself.

For example: Do I know how to spell any part of this word?

Yes

Is this a word that I need to learn to spell?

Yes‚ because I sometimes use this word in my writing.

4

Spelling: Workbook teachers guide—R.I.C. Publications®—www.ricpublications.com.au

Metacognitive Approach Visualising questions are questions that require you to ‘see’ the word or its shape in your mind.

For example: Close your eyes.

Can I see the word inside my head? yes/no

Can I see the shape of the word?

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Predictive questions are questions that require you to forecast a possible outcome.

Teac he r

Summarising questions are questions that demand a reiteration and understanding of what went before.

ew i ev Pr

For example: Can I say another word that is spelled almost the same?

‘Forget’ has the same beginning.

Can I spell this word? yes/no

Can I write it from memory and say each letter as I do it? f–o–r–g–e–t

w ww

Reflective questions review the strategies used to learn new words and how you feel about your progress.

For example:

How did I do? happy/reasonably happy/unhappy Which card helped me the most?

Inferential Questions Was there anybody or anything that could have helped me?

I could have looked for the word around my classroom or got my family to test me.

How do I feel? happy/reasonably happy/unhappy

. te

m . u

For example: Can I make a sentence for this word?

Yes: I forgot my lunch.

Can I write a story the teacher has given me with the spelling word

or words in it? yes/no

o c . che e r o t r s super

The ‘Reflective Questions’ card should be used as a challenge for every student. It is designed to extend the more successful speller. It also offers the opportunity for individuals to recognise their own areas of strength and weakness.

This card should be used at the end of the lesson or after the dictation for students to reflect on their success and to set new goals for themselves.

The following pages contain a set of cards for encouraging this way of thinking.

Additional Activities Informal Activities Word Study – Useful for reinforcement of the list words in a less formal approach.

Strategy Examples • Encourage students to ‘have a go’ and take risks with approximate spelling.

For example: Using ‘have a go’ pads or spelling journals for students to try out their spelling with when writing stories.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Include different sources of print around the classroom for students to find correct spelling; for example: opposites‚ colours‚ favourite sayings‚ days of the week.

• Break each spelling list into shorter lists based on similar spelling patterns or themes.

For example:

• Longer words can be ‘chunked’ (broken into chunks) to assist spelling‚ rather than conventional syllables.

For example: into – in – to Students should be encouraged to choose how to chunk the words themselves‚ so as to suit each student’s preferred learning style.

list words could be broken up as follows: he‚ me‚ we‚ be‚ she gum‚ hum‚ sum yes‚ no

Each student then sees if his or her partner can guess the words.

• Guess the word: Give a partner the first letter of a word chosen from the spelling list. The partner then has to guess the word before the whole word is revealed‚ one letter at a time.

For example: The beginning of a game using the word ‘soon’ would look like this:

• Make a word bank containing the same sound pattern or rule as a particular list word. Work as individuals‚ partners‚ small groups or a whole class.
