This resource covers a complete curriculum of lessons for students in the within word pattern stage of spelling development.
It engages students in activities to target short and long vowels, common and uncommon long-vowel patterns in CVC and CVCe words, r-influenced vowels, diphthongs, ambiguous vowels and complex consonants. Numerous features support effective teaching and learning, including:
- Over 70 reproducible sorts for students to use in hands-on sorting activities.
- Targeted Learners sections clarify which students will benefit most from the instruction.
- Notes for the Teacher in each unit provide placement guidelines and background information about the features of study. The notes also describe weekly routines to ensure practice and enrichment.
- Extra support for English learners.
- Directions for how to introduce the sort as well as additional teaching tips are included in each lesson. Step-by-step directions for each sort encourage active thinking with questions to guide reflection and generalising.
- High frequency words receive special attention.
- Clearly stated generalisations for each lesson highlight what students will learn.
- Suggestions on how to explore the meaning of words.
- Extend sections provide follow up activities that go beyond sorting and involve students in word hunts, listening exercises and more.
- Apply activities ask students to use the generalisations to develop strategies for spelling unfamiliar words.
- Spell checks for ongoing assessment.
- A pacing chart and goal setting form provides guidelines for placing students in the lesson progression, and suggestions for modifying the progression of sorts and tools to monitor students’ progress through each unit.
- Literature Connections makes links between the features being studied and children’s literature.
A number of new features support effective teaching and learning, including:
- Clearly stated generalizations for each lesson, along with suggestions on how to explore the meaning of words, and application activities to help students use the generalization to spell unfamiliar words and develop spelling and decoding strategies.
- Expanded step-by-step directions for each sort to encourage active thinking and open discussions with questions to guide reflection and generalizing.
- Clear guidelines for placing students in the lesson progression, along with suggestions for modifying the progression of sorts using a pacing chart.
- A goal setting form to help teachers more accurately monitor students’ progress throughout each unit.
