Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
All About Spelling uses multisensory 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 five words that contain the spelling concept they have been learning. They will write their own sentences using those words. They can choose to write five 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.

Your student will learn:
Week 1: The phonograms eigh, ear, and ph
Week 2: Spelling strategy for multisyllable words
Week 3: Spell numbers to one hundred and eigh words
Week 4: Spell Days of the week and ue words
Week 5: Spell words with ph and ear
Week 6: Introducing phonograms ti and oe and spelling the sound of unaccented a
Week 7: Spelling the long a sound with ea
Week 8: Review and assess

Other Details

Learning Needs
Students with dyslexia and dysgraphia will benefit from the Orton-Gillingham approach to spelling.
Pre-Requisites
Students should have completed levels 1-3 of All About Spelling and the first half of level four.
Supply List
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.

If your student is using the plastic letter tiles, a magnetic white board is also needed. The magnetic whiteboard is so that students can easily hold up the words they make for me to see. Students will also need a notebook and marker to write sentences or a dry erase marker to write on their board. If student can type proficiently, they can type their sentences in the chat instead. 

Optional: The level 4 student packet ($19.95) which includes the sound cards, phonogram cards, key cards, and word cards will be used for review. I am not affiliated with this website.

If you purchase the cards, your student must have an index card box to store them in. One can be purchased from All About Spelling ($10.95), but it can also be purchased from anywhere you choose.
