US Grade 4 - 6
All About Spelling uses multisensory, Orton-Gillingham based, learning. Kinesthetic learning includes building words with letter tiles, finger spelling on surfaces, and writing words, phrases, and sentences. Visual learning includes watching direct instruction of spelling concepts with the colored tiles, seeing the words written down, and looking at the review cards. Auditory learning includes verbally reviewing the review cards, segmenting words out loud, and saying the phonogram's sound as it is written. Each week I will incorporate the following activities: 1. Review phonogram cards, sound cards, key cards, and word cards. 2. Introduce a new spelling concept through direct modeling with the tiles followed by guided practice with the tiles, independent practice in writing, and application in writing in a word or sentence. 3. Analyze a given word based on previously learned spelling concepts and phonograms. 4. Assess your child's progress through their understanding of review cards and demonstration of the spelling concept in writing. 5. At the end of each step students will be given six words that contain spelling concepts they have been learning. They will write their own sentences using those words. They can choose to write six separate sentences or combine multiple words in each sentence. Students can write on their board with a dry erase marker or type in the chat. At the end of the course, students will spell words with a partner in breakout rooms while I individually assess the phonogram, sound, key, and word cards. In Level 5 part two students will learn: Week 1: Review lessons 1-6 Week 2: EX Week 3: OUGH Week 4: OR in unaccented syllables Week 5: Ways to spell er Week 6: I before E Generalization
Learning Goals
Students will learn the two sounds spelled by EX, words with OUGH, how to spell the sound er in unaccented syllables, and a generalization about using I before E.

Supply List
1. Students must purchase the All About Spelling Interactive Kit ($22.85) which includes the letter tiles used to build words OR the letter tiles app. The letter tiles app can only be used if the student has two devices, one to take the class and one to use the tiles app. https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/tiles-and-boxes-s/ (Only if you have not purchased this previously) OR https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/letter-tiles-app/ 2. If you purchase the physical letter tiles, you will need a large magnetic white board and a dry erase marker. The magnetic whiteboard is so that students can easily hold up the words they make for me to see. If you purchase the letter tiles app, a small white board and marker is needed. 3. Students will need a notebook to record word sorts, homophones, and silent E words. 4. Students will need a dictionary for alphabetizing.
