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 spelling concepts they have been learning. They will create their own sentence or sentences using those words. 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. Students will learn: Week 1: Months of the year and abbreviations Week 2: Words with ew Week 3: Spelling the short e sound with ea Week 4: New spelling strategy Week 5: Spelling /r/ with wr Week 6: Spelling /n/ with kn Week 7: More words with er Week 8: Review and Assess Students should have completed All About Spelling Level Three or have taken the spelling placement test. The placement test will determine whether you should begin with level 1, 2, 3, or 4.
