Phonogram cards, sound cards, key cards, and word cards will be reviewed weekly to determine mastery. Mastery will be evaluated when students write words, phrases, and sentences with the phonograms that have been taught.Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 2
All About Spelling uses multisensory learning. Kinesthetic learning includes building words with letter tiles, sorting words, 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, guided practice with the pages 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.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to spell consonant-vowel-consonant words and short vowel words with TH, SH, and CH.

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 must purchase the spelling activity book for level one. This will be used for four classes. https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-spelling-level-1-zip-into-spelling-activity-book/ 4. Students will need a notebook to write sentences in or may use their white board.
