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.

• dividing material into manageable chunks • teaching in a well-considered sequence

• using material in which students make use of hunches and prompts • regular testing for progress

Matching Teaching Methods to Learning Styles

w ww

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.

Each workbook contains 18 lists of phonic-based, commonly used words to develop a base vocabulary for primary school students. These help to develop independent spellers through a variety of activities, including: • • • • •

Supplementary resources – extra ideas to support a spelling program, covering a range of ability levels.

m . u

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.

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.

Each word list table has a series of columns. After learning each word, the 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.

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

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.

w ww

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

. te

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.

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 below as one 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 or delete from this timetable, according to their needs. This timetable is based on 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.

w ww

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

. te

For example: What is the tricky part of the word? ter Is there a rule for this word? no

m . u

For example: What is the word? yesterday What does this word mean? the day before today Does it have an easily recognisable root? day Can the word be broken into smaller sounds? yes/ter/day

o c . che e r o t r s super

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.

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.

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

Teac he r

• Jumble words and swap with a partner.

For example: ‘school’ becomes ‘oslhco’. As an extra challenge, students can create jumbled words that are able to be pronounced.

For example: ‘The cat sat on the mat’ becomes ‘Eht tca tas no eht tma’. Students who want a challenge could also jumble the order of the words!

• Make word searches or crossword puzzles on grid paper and swap with a partner.

This can be simply done by making a grid and inserting the list of spelling words horizontally and vertically. Any gaps are filled with random letters in a word search or coloured black in a crossword.

ew i ev Pr

• Jumble sentences using list words and swap with a partner.

• Word dominoes

Word dominoes can be made by breaking list words in half (ones that have a common ending or beginning).

. te

m . u

For example: ‘Is a frog a reptile?’ ‘Can we see clouds in the sky?’

w ww

• Make yes/no questions or true/false statements containing list words and swap with a partner.

For example:

o c . che e r o t r s super

as e

ill

• Trace list words on a partner’s back—partner guesses which spelling word is traced.

• Cut pairs of list words in half and rejoin them. Students then see if their partner can guess the words.

For example: picket blannic = picnic blanket

• 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 ‘plane’ would look like this:

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

Additional Activities Partner and Group Activities Shared Group Activities – Encourages the exchange of personal list words, thereby broadening the students’ word base. Strategy Examples • Make a word bank following the same sound pattern or rule as particular list words. Work as individuals, partners, a whole class or in small groups.

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.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

For example: A list of words that end in ‘ight’: tight, right, flight, might, sight; words that end with a silent ‘e’: made, same, shake.

Partner and Group Activities Class or Group Games – Useful for reinforcement of the list words in a less formal approach. Strategy Examples

For example: a ‘Difficult Word of the Day’ competition, during which the students try to spell a challenging word.

• ‘Hunter’

Use individual books, charts, shared stories, poems etc. to find a particular spelling pattern or rule being treated.

w ww

m . u

• Simple class spelling competitions.

• Play concentration, fish, word bingo or tic-tac-toe.

. te

In tic-tac-toe, each player uses a list of words with a common sound as their ‘noughts and crosses’. For example, in the game below, Player One used a bank of ‘sh-’ words; Player Two used a bank of ‘-all’ words.

o c . che e r o t r s super call

wall

ball

she

ship

shock

• Play hangman or a similar game called ‘Shannon’s Game’.

In ‘Shannon’s Game’, students need to guess the letters in the correct order in which they occur in each word.

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

Additional Activities Partner and Group Activities Class or Group Games – Useful for reinforcement of the list words in a less formal approach. Strategy Examples • ‘Guess My Word’.

Students ask questions that require a yes/no response to guess the mystery spelling word.

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

• Magazine hunt for list words.

‘Celebrity Head Words’

The students uses a headband to hold a card with a list word written on it to his/her head. He/She asks questions of the class, which can only be answered as yes or no; for example, ‘Does the word end in ‘t’?’

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• Play ‘Celebrity Head Words’, picture clue words or charades.

Choose a selection of words to focus on for a week. Students can also search for these in newspapers or any other reading material in the classroom. Students can circle or underline words they find. At the end of the week, students can count their score and share the sentences they found.

w ww

m . u

• Play a game similar to ‘Memory’ using the small words within compound words written on cards.

• Students write quiz questions for list words, and give them to a friend to solve. A ‘quiz night’ could also be held using multiple lists.

For example: What can burn us, but also gives us warmth? (fire)

• Students write clues to match their list words. Hold a small competition each day to see who can solve the puzzle first.

For example: Add ‘basket’ to ‘ball’ = basketball. Take ‘er’ from ‘mother’ = moth.

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super

Also refer to pages 28–30 for photocopiable spelling games. Commercial board games involving word formation can also be of benefit to a spelling program.

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

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

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

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.

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) to assist spelling, rather than conventional syllables.

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.

m . u

o c . che e r o t r s super c

• 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.

= chimney

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

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’.

ew i ev Pr

• Make new words by writing letters in front of a sound.

• Use list words to make spelling ladders, with each word starting with the letter which ends the word before.

For example:

• Decorate or illustrate list words.

w ww

. te

• Write list words using string or pipe-cleaners.

m . u

Students can draw pictures and ask other students to guess which word they have drawn; or simply make words into patterns.

o c . che e r o t r s letter super

Students can make each letter, or just the word shape.

• Use magnetic letters to form words from memory on a board.

• Write list words in sand or salt.

Students could also trace words on a desk or sandpaper. Discussing whether letter shapes are ‘tall’ or ‘small’ could follow.

• Use list words to build other words.

For example, using the word ‘are’:

b • Make simple designs using the list words written end to end.

n’t

Use shapes like circles, triangles and spirals.

1. We used to gather in the village square near our house to watch a magic show. 2. After the giant rocket was filled with hydrogen it soared upwards, controlled by an electronic gadget. 3. The germ had been passed between the patients and more were in danger, so the nurse in charge had to arrange to close the ward. 4. After the flood it was strange to see the damage in the lounge caused by the water from the broken gutter. 5. After a gentle walk, Mum waved goodbye as we had to go and change our shoes before going to the gym. 6. I was full of energy on the ice rink as I skated a perfect figure of eight.

Word Building

water suddenly

• The ‘y’ at the end of base words changes to ‘i’ when a suffix is added. • When adding a suffix beginning with a vowel to most words ending with ‘e’, the ‘e’ is dropped before adding the suffix. • (Note: in changeable and damageable the ‘e’ is retained to keep the soft ‘g’ sound.)

gym

doctor

Rules

m . u

change

• Identify the phoneme and how it is represented. • Discuss how the letter ‘g’ can make hard and soft sounds. It usually makes a hard sound when followed by ‘a’, ‘o’ or ‘u’ and usually makes a soft sound when followed by ‘e’, ‘i’ or ‘y’. • Sort the list words to the graphemes and brainstorm other words to add to each list.

1. They needed urgent medical supplies as the earthquake had lasted thirty minutes and all the modern buildings had collapsed or burnt down. 2. They could confirm that about 400 people, a quarter of the population, were missing so the search goes on. Early today they found a further two people alive but a hearse was taking away many dead bodies. 3. ‘My purpose in coming to this library is to read in silence so please be quiet’, said a lady firmly, who heard my brother burst the balloon. 4. I was a virtual urchin in the city which suffered from urban decay and I remember being thirsty and hungry most of the time. Now I sincerely thank my adoptive parents for taking me in.

rainbow springtime breeze point letter

1. Spring is the season, when you have to prune all the roses, plant new punnets of seedlings and nurture any new shoots that are sprouting. 2. After the thunderstorm the weather got worse and we were truly afraid of the lightning. Without an umbrella or gumboots we had no protection from the heavy shower of rain. 3. Our gardener will add extra compost to enrich the soil. This will make the flowering plants more fruitful. 4. The warmth of the sun could be felt on the eighth day of spring. The sunshine made the colour of the yellow flowers even more brilliant.

Dictation

1. None of the class chose the correct prefix for the words microchip and microfilm. 2. We had to lengthen the rope if we were to escape from the tenth floor; then we had to strengthen the knot and descend slowly. To our amazement, we all got free. 3. With great excitement the scientist discovered the microbe which was the cause of the disease under the microscope. Now they could predict the effect of medical treatment and try to prevent a further outbreak. 4. On a barren island in the North Sea, in a small wooden hut, we study the climate and keep warm with layers of woollen jumpers. 5. The English department asked our class to prepare a speech about prehistoric animals which, if everyone was in agreement, I was to deliver to 400 people using a microphone.

1. My nephew had a phobia about animals, but since he was cured of his fear he has swum with a dolphin, sat on an elephant and every day he strokes the horses as they drink from the trough in the paddock. 2. The atmosphere quickly changed when the teacher came back in and shouted, ‘That is enough! I don’t want to hear anyone laugh or even cough and if I do that person will have to stand and repeat the alphabet backwards’. 3. The author wrote his autograph in my book, then read aloud the paragraph which described how he had become an orphan after the crash, and how for the months following he would just sit looking at the photograph of his parents. 4. The weather graph showed that August was the wettest month last year and November was the windiest. 5. While I am doing my homework, my mum’s favourite phrase is, ‘When the going gets rough, the tough get going’. It does make me work harder. 6. The classroom is warmer now that the builders have roughcast the outside walls and you can no longer feel a cold draught.

• To make the plural of words ending with ‘y’ after a consonant, change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’. (Monies is an exception.) • The ‘y’ at the end of base words changes to ‘i’ when a suffix is added. • When adding a suffix beginning with a vowel to most words ending with ‘e’, the ‘e’ is dropped before adding the suffix. Note: The ‘y’ is usually retained when adding ‘ing’ to avoid ‘ii’ being written, but taxiing and skiing are exceptions.

1. Do you believe that 24 adults have fitted into one taxi, a journey across America was done by a man pushing a shopping trolley and 700 people joined hands and jumped from a quay into the sea? 2. The police were baffled by the robbery at the naval academy, but the mystery was solved as the thief was caught on camera. It showed a monkey who had the ability to squeeze through a narrow cavity in the wall and steal the money. 3. As they had not won the lottery it was a simple military wedding where the bride and groom wore khaki outfits. After being covered in confetti, they sat down to a meal of spaghetti bolognaise or macaroni cheese and then a cake covered with sweet honey. 4.

Switzerland

1. At the musical festival the police ordered the removal of all the campers to the next paddock. The traffic signal system was not working due to an electrical fault in an overhead cable at the campsite. 2. After walking around the poor part of the city, I could see the severe hardship suffered by the people. They had no running water, no drainage system and not enough food. Their only hope was the arrival of foreign aid. 3. Dad informed me I owed for the breakage of a vase, the wastage of electricity and for postage stamps. However, it did astonish him that I knew that he had spent a hundred dollars a month for a personal membership to a golf club and ninety dollars on a ticket to see the championship golf match. He looked sheepish and told me I didn’t have to pay. 4. Our friendship didn’t last long as I could no longer bear his foolish behaviour and childish remarks. 5. The coach could no longer put up with the player’s selfish and amateurish attitude.

1. Wearing a wetsuit and a tank full of oxygen and nitrogen, we went scuba diving to a depth of 30 metres and swam close to an octopus and a squid. For security, we carried a knife in case we met a shark. 2. We were flying into Sydney, Australia when the pilot told us to look out of the window as there was a huge whale below in the ocean. 3. I was swimming along using flippers and a snorkel when a hook caught my swimsuit. I was dragged back towards the old man who was fishing from the pier. As he jumped back in amazement, his sunglasses fell off. 4. The customs officer checked the contents of the suitcase belonging to the lady who had arrived from Greece. 5. The lifesaver enjoyed working at the coastal town that had a marina on the north side of the bay.
