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. Students should have completed All About Spelling Steps 1-16 before continuing with this class. During the first week we will review the phonograms, sound cards, key cards, and word cards from steps 1-16. Then students will review initial and final blends as well as how to segment words that contain blends. Students will learn when to use c or k at the beginning of a word. Also students will learn when to use k or ck at the end of a word. We will learn the phonograms ck, ng, and nk as well as when to double the letters f, l, and s at the end of a word. Students will learn how to spell compound words and plural words. We will learn about long vowel sounds. Students will discover how long and short vowel sounds are related to whether a word has an open or closed syllable. Each week I will incorporate the following activities into our lessons: 1. We will review the phonogram cards, sound cards, key cards, and word cards. 2. I will introduce a new spelling concept through direct modeling with the letter tiles. This will be followed by guided practice with the tiles. Then students will independently practice the phonogram or spelling concept in writing. Finally students will apply the new phonogram or spelling concept by using it in writing a word, phrase, or sentence. 3. I will assess your child's progress through his/her understanding of the phonogram cards, sound cards, key cards, and word cards. Also mastery will be determined through his/her demonstration of the spelling concept while building with the tiles or writing the words. Week 1: Review Week 2: Doubling f, l, and s Week 3: The sound of K at the end of a word Week 4: The consonant team ng Week 5: The consonant team nk Week 6: Compound words Week 7: Plural Words Week 8: Add ES Week 9: Long Vowel Rule Week 10: 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.
