All About Spelling Level Two: Steps 1-7

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. These learning strategies will be used throughout the week to introduce, reinforce, and assess.

During the first week we will review the 32 phonogram cards, 32 sound cards, and 5 key cards from level 1. Then students will learn about open and closed syllables, beginning and ending blends, silent e, and syllable division rules. Students will also learn the following phonograms: wh and ee. 

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 by writing a word, phrase or sentence.
3. Assess your child's progress through their understanding of review cards and demonstration of the spelling concept in writing.

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: Review Level 1
Week 2: Blends at the beginning and end
Week 3: Y can say long I
Week 4: Compound words syllable division rule
Week 5: Every syllable rule and words with two closed syllables 
Week 6: Two consonants syllable rule
