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:

Timetable – a suggested timetable that can be adapted to suit different class needs.

• using material in which students make use of hunches and prompts

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.

Success with this series is achieved through the reinforcement activities provided in the Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD series. These workbooks cover the strategies in a fun, creative way, ensuring that both the child and the teacher enjoy the learning process. The teachers guides provide the metacognitive strategies. These are clearly outlined using flashcards, assessment sheets, extra activities, guidelines for use with children with special needs, extension activities for more able students, dictation, word lists and answers.

Teacher Information Each workbook contains 18 spelling units. Each unit is made up of four pages, with each unit containing: • a list of 22 words to be learned, focusing on one or more phonic word patterns and two commonly used words • word building and word study activities • revision words from the previous workbook.

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

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.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

The first page of each unit contains the list words. Before the students see the list, it is recommended that the words are pre-tested. This can be used as a benchmark for how well the students learn the list or which words they need to focus on throughout the unit.

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.

C.Publ i cat i ons •f orLook, r ev i ew pur posesonl y• Say, Trace, Cover, Write, Check

w ww

. te

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

m . u

Look at the word. Look for words within words. Look at the shape of the word.

o c . che e r o t r s super

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

Cover the word. (A time factor can be built into this part. Test after one minute, 10 minutes, one hour, the next day etc.)

Write the spelling word.

Check the word with the original.

Teacher Information Each unit contains word building and word study activities.

A bank of activities are used throughout the book, including: • unjumbling words • word worms • finding small words • crosswords • word searches • synonyms • antonyms and many more.

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

The unit list is repeated for further reference on the third page of each unit, along with a revision list of words from the previous level of Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD. Regular revision tests are recommended to ensure previous list words are kept current in the student’s 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 10-day spelling program for each list is suggested as one way of using this workbook. It is based on 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.

This timetable features a metacognitive approach, which is explained in detail on the following pages. Daily partner testing is a key feature of the timetable, allowing students to practise three to five list words at a time. A worksheet for recording partner test results is provided on page 15.

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: ‘yesterday’.

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

• The teacher models a word; for example: ‘yesterday’. 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?

yesterday

What does this word mean?

the day before today

Does it have an easily recognisable root?

Can the word be broken into smaller sounds?

w ww

yes­/ter/day

. te

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

o c . che e r o t r s super

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

ter

m . u

day

Is there a rule for this word?

no

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

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

Break the word into three little words: yes, ter, day.

Personal questions are questions that are relevant to oneself.

For example: Is there a rhythm in the word?

yes

Is there a familiar sound in this word?

ay

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

Yes, because I use this word regularly.

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

For example: Can I give another word with a similar spelling?

‘Today’ has the same ending.

Can I spell this word?

yes/no

Can I write it from memory and say each letter as I do it?

t–o–d–a–y Summarising questions are questions that demand a reiteration and understanding of what went before.

© R. I .

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

For example: Can I state the rule for this word?

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

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

There isn’t a rule.

Can I make a sentence for this word?

Yes; yesterday, I went swimming with my friend.

Can I write this word in a dictated passage?

w ww

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

. te

For example: How did I do?

o c . che e r o t r s super

happy/reasonably happy/unhappy

Were my choices of strategies effective?

yes/no

m . u

yes/no

Will learning how to spell this word help me to spell other words?

yes/no

Was there anybody or anything that could have helped me?

I could have used a dictionary or got my family to test me.

How do I feel?

happy/reasonably happy/unhappy

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.

• Hidden words – using the letters in a word to make as many new words as possible.

For example: neighbours – house, neigh, nigh, bin, rough, bore.

• Rank words in level of difficulty in learning to spell.

For example:

• Write a paragraph using a set number of list words.

For example: use ‘grapes’, ‘picnic’ and ‘shade’ in a paragraph; When we got to the park, we sat in the shade. We spread out a blanket and ate our picnic. The grapes were my favourite food.

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

• Put list words into sentences—work individually or as a whole class.

For example: Each word could be written on a piece of card. Students can take one card each and put themselves in a line so the order of words makes sense. Cards with common words like ‘a’, ‘and’ and ‘the’ will need to be made, too.

Children with Special Needs The spelling activities in Spelling: Workbook and interactive CD can be modified or added to for children with special needs.

Some additional suggestions are included below for students with learning difficulties. The worksheet on page 26 is designed for students who fall into this category. Students in need of extension will benefit from many of the suggestions included in the Additional Activities pages of this book. Page 27 also contains an opportunity for spelling extension.

Strategies For Students with Learning Difficulties Strategy Examples For example, using ‘Have a go’ pads or spelling journals for students to try out their spelling when writing stories.

• Encourage as much reading as possible.

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

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

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

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

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

For example: these list words could be broken up as follows: brake, shake, snake; base, case, chase; plate, mate, hate.

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

For example, cent-i-pede, el-ec-tric, in-vent-ing. Students should be encouraged to choose how to chunk the words themselves, so as to suit each student’s preferred learning style.

• Emphasise spelling rules.

For example: magic ‘e’; ‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’

• Encourage students to look at difficult words, focus on the problem part, close their eyes and then write it.

For example: the problem part of ‘night’ might be ‘igh’.

w ww

. te

• Write list words on graph paper, cut out the letters, and then build the word from the cut-out letters.

• Write the list words, leaving out some letters. Complete the words the next day.

For example: c

• Find words that rhyme with the list words. Underline them if they are spelt the same.

For example: goat – note, boat, wrote, float

• Prepare a cloze passage, deleting list words. Students select the correct word to go in the correct space.

For example: ‘dinosaurs’ and ‘plants’ might fit into: Many ate .

• Use sentence frames to develop a spelling vocabulary of list words.

For example: We took plates to the picnic.

We took sandwiches to the picnic.

Children with Special Needs Strategies For Students with Learning Difficulties Strategy Examples • Use games like word bingo and word quizzes.

Word Bingo Students copy words onto bingo cards, checking their spelling, then cover the words with counters if the word is called.

Word Quizzes

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

Using a word list, students write the correct word; for example, ‘Write the word ending in “ade”’; ‘Write the word with “ire” in the middle’.

• Make alphabet books to use as personal dictionaries.

Students write any difficult words they have found under each letter.

• Play snap with compound word parts, prefixes and suffixes.

For example: ‘foot’ matches with ‘ball’; ‘tele-’ matches with ‘phone’; ‘govern’ matches with ‘ment’.

Teac he r

For example: ‘ine’ could be added to ‘v’, ‘tw’, ‘f’, ‘m’, ‘n’.

• There are two main uses for apostrophes. One is to show when a letter(s) has/have been omitted; e.g. didn’t – did not.

• Hyphenated words are compound words that would be unclear, hard to read or excessively long without the hyphen; e.g. no-smoking sign and black-cab driver.

• Capital letters are used for proper nouns such as names of places and months of the year; e.g. Europe and January.

• When pluralised, some compound nouns add ‘s’ to the first word; others add ‘s’ to the second word; e.g. chief-of-staff, chiefs-of staff; lay-by, lay-bys.
