Foreword Phonics and the Common Words

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:

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.

word building memory tests word study word puzzles discovering patterns in words.

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 high-frequency 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

. 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 also 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 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 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.

For example: What is the word?

yesterday

What does this word mean?

the day before today Does it have an easily recognisable root?

w ww

Can the word be broken into smaller sounds?

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?

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. 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

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.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

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

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

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.

• Students make their own read-and-illustrate activities to swap with a partner.

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

ase

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

hoc 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.

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 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 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

Strategy

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

For example

• 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’

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

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.

• Decorate or illustrate list words.

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

. te

• Write list words using string or pipe-cleaners.

s n a k e a c h

m . u

w ww

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

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.

Rules

• When adding a suffix beginning with a vowel to most words ending with ‘e’, the ‘e’ is dropped before adding the suffix. • To make the plural of words ending with ‘y’ after a consonant, change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’.

Dictation

1. ‘Sorry, Miss, I slept in.’ ‘Well I didn’t think that you had slept out!’ she shouted. This was followed by a severe punishment of a 500- word essay on the industrial revolution. Meanwhile, she would not accept another excuse for my tardiness as it has been a continuous disruption to the class. I thought she was going to explode with anger, but I did persuade her that I wouldn’t be late again, as my mum planned to provide me with an alarm clock. 2. A lot of the rock face had started to erode and this was hampering our climb. We decided to reduce the load we were carrying and organise a different route. This decision will provoke the others as it is a harder ascent to negotiate and we will have to postpone it until tomorrow.

2. The huge hotel on Bond Street was so cosmopolitan. I met Marco, an Italian, who was a cameraman and the official photographer of the Vatican. The manager was Irish and called O’Callaghan. He ran the hotel like a politician. The Scottish driver who drove the mini-van always wore a kilt with a tartan sporran. The lady who was Australian who was an equestrian, and she smelt of horses (as did her cardigan). Dan, the engineer who had married the librarian, then had a baby who looked like an alien. Peter, the auctioneer always with an action plan; he’d sell anything, even an empty soft drink can. There was a Portuguese builder who disliked the Vietnamese cook as he was a comedian. If you wanted to get the job as a doorman, the assessment would be done by an Argentinian in the Japanese garden. The pianist in the bar, who called herself Joanne, couldn’t speak English so sang in Iranian. The jeweller from India always wore a kaftan and tried to sell me a silver frying pan.

1. Because we had only been airborne for three minutes and I could still see the airstrip below, the aeroplane turned back as the only toilet was not working. An airline pilot always has to prioritise to put the safety and comfort of the passengers first. He admitted that if he had only been carrying airmail he would not have turned back. 2. The artist began to paint the superhuman figure on the outside wall of the nursery, but as he was using an airbrush, the strong wind made the aerosol spray blow back all over him. He managed to finished it because we put up a tarpaulin to make the area more airtight. Now, when there is a child’s birthday, we are able to superimpose a photograph of the child’s head onto the figure he has painted.

3. The first reason for cancelling the aerobatics show was that there was a potential hazard for the pilots due to the strong winds around the aerodrome. Secondly, they had to be deployed to airlift the required food supplies to the war zone. Flying through enemy airspace with these supplies was a great risk.

4. After leaving the aerobics class, I reversed my car over the superintendent’s foot! Luckily, his wound was superficial so he wasn’t too mad. But as he fell, he broke my aerial. This made me sad. A wire coathanger could supersede it, said my dad. However, he got me a new aerial which made me glad, as it’s a superior one.

Rules

• To make the plural of words ending with a ‘y’ after a consonant, change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’.

• Often, 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 (‘guarantee’, ‘escapee’ and ‘absentee’ retain the ‘e’).

• Double the consonant to keep the preceding vowel short.

Dictation

1. I followed the recipe for making a quiche but used the wrong quantity of flour. Then, as I have an allergy to eggs, I had to go to hospital. The whole cookery lesson was a catastrophe.

2. It is hard to be a celebrity and not show a lot of conceit, so I do like J Lo, who likes to abbreviate her name from Jennifer Lopez. 3. I can guarantee there will be more than ten absentees from school tomorrow as the orientation outbound trip is taking place.

4. My pet amphibian was lost. I’d searched everywhere but failed to retrieve him. Where he could be I just could not conceive. So I made a cappuccino as I did perceive that the caffeine could help to relieve the pain of his absence. Then his unique little croak came from the debris in the bin. And that is where I found him, licking the inside of a tin.

1. He studies horticulture and is a perfect candidate as he loves being outdoors. He is learning to cultivate the flowers, plants and vegetables, which he watches germinate along with all his cuttings and hopes they will propagate. He uses the best fertiliser he can accumulate. But with too much sunshine, an awful smell can circulate. However, his luxuriant flowers flourish at a great rate and the foliage in his plants is so green and delicate. His bountiful supplies of vegetables are more than adequate to make him pass his exams and become a graduate, so today I sent him a bouquet of flowers to help him celebrate.

1. There was danger ahead, and I don’t exaggerate as I thought that in winter bears just hibernate. But there it stood, in solitude, and my heart did palpitate. Its appetite for humans made my proximity unfortunate. I tried to use some persuasion to make it cooperate. Even though I am only a juvenile, I did anticipate if I tried to apologise it might appreciate that physical abuse of a human is against the law of the state! I told the bear the concrete facts so we could negotiate. And what did this talk produce? A three-metre grizzly standing tall, who started to salivate.

Dictation 1. I am not confident and I am very shy, so I will tell you about an incident but I don’t know why. It happened on my way to meet an important and intelligent guy. It was the President of France who lived in Versailles. The weather was pleasant, which was good as I had to fly to a distant place. I left and said goodbye. Sitting next to me on the plane as it soared into the sky was an arrogant soldier who had only one eye, and was constant in his criticism of my yellow tie. For most of the flight I just remained silent apart from one big sigh, but towards the end tolerant no more was I; so by accident and from way up high, I dropped on the opponent a juicy meat pie. He went to another seat as he began to cry, which left a vacant seat where I could lie!

Afterwards we had a picnic in the park, eating marmalade sandwiches and pavlova filled with fruit and pasteurised cream. I suddenly screamed as I looked down at my cardigan and saw a spider.

A python in your home is not an invited guest. A tattoo is permanent, so think before you get one on your chest, especially if you wear a leotard or a string vest. 4.

1. Once we had entered the lines of latitude and longitude into the satellite navigation system of the catamaran, we quickly found the quickest route through the reef to the island. 2. Once we had learnt the technique of opening the parachute, we could take our first jump from a helicopter. 3. The tourism board advised each traveller to have inoculation injections for protection against diseases such as malaria. This was extremely important prior to travel to continents near the equator. The board also advised people not to pack souvenirs with sharp edges in their hand luggage for security reasons. Other advice was to organise an itinerary and accommodation before leaving and a strategy for obtaining a fair exchange rate for foreign currency.
