16 live meetings
12 in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. I will post in the classroom each week the spelling pattern or rule we focused on as well as review words that can be practiced at home.Assessment
Each class will begin with a review of the phonogram, sound, or rule cards to determine which are mastered and which need more review. When students are building words with the tiles and writing words and sentences I will evaluate whether certain concepts need more review or are mastered.Class Experience
US Grade 4 - 6
Intermediate Level
All About Spelling uses multisensory, Orton-Gillingham based, learning. Kinesthetic learning includes building words with letter tiles 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 six words that contain the spelling concepts that they have been learning. They will write their own sentences using those words. They can choose to write six 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 cards.
Learning Goals
Students will apply spelling strategies, spelling rules, and syllable division rules to new words.
Students will determine if a word with the "ul" sound is spelled with IL, EL, AL, or LE.

Curriculum
Follows All About Spelling Curriculum16 Lessons
over 8 WeeksLesson 1:
"ul" Spelled EL
We will review the phonogram and word cards as well as the word bank for CAL. I will demonstrate the EL spelling for the sound "ul" and we will read through the EL word bank. Students will build words spelled with EL using their tiles. They will write sentences that contain words from previous lessons and words with the EL spelling pattern.

Lesson 3:
"ul" Spelled AL
We will review the phonogram and word cards as well as the word bank for IL. I will demonstrate the AL spelling for the sound "ul" and we will read through the AL word bank. I will teach the rule breaker "metal" and students will add the homophones metal and medal to their homophones list. I will read a sentence and they will identify which of the homophones belongs in my sentence based on context. Students will build words spelled with AL using their tiles.

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 record word sorts, homophones, and silent E words.
