Module 1: Spelling Strategies and Practice

£35.00

The Spelling Strategies and Practice module gives students the tools to learn new spellings independently.

Overview

Spelling Strategies and Practice teaches students how to apply their knowledge of phonics, word structure, spelling patterns and etymology to words that they find challenging.

Students complete a spelling assessment that consists of useful but commonly misspelled words, and the results are used to generate a list of words for each student to practise.

Students complete homework sheets to practise their target words. Each homework sheet includes a short explanation of why the target word is spelled as it is, from the perspective of etymology (word history), morphology (word structure) or phonology (the sounds within the word). Students use this information to develop their own specific spelling strategy for each word, and then complete tasks from the homework sheet to practise the spelling.

Step-by-step guidance for teaching Spelling Strategies and Practice is available in the Teaching Manual.
