US Grade Kindergarten - 3
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. During the first week I will review first 29 phonograms. Then we will continue learning the short vowel sounds. Next, we will focus on segmenting initial and final blends. 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, guided practice in the activity book, independent practice in writing, and application in writing in a word or phrase. 3. Assess your child's progress through their understanding of review cards and demonstration of the spelling concept in writing. Week 1: Short U Week 2: Short E Week 3: Phonograms S, QU, and X Week 4: Phonograms CH, TH, and SH Week 5: Segmenting Blends Week 7: Initial and Final Blends Week 6: Review and Assess

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 write sentences in or may use their white board.
