👀 In this trial week of my middle-school spelling program, students will experience my teaching style, content delivery, assignment expectations, and the difficulty of the class content. This class will help you and your student decide to enroll in my full-program flex class. In the full program, you can expect to see the same predictable format and assignments week after week so what you see in this trial class is what you will get in the full program, just with different word lists. 📓...
3 lessons//1 Week
Week 1Lesson 1Introduction of the Week 1 Word ListIntroduction of the word list. I will model how students should sort their list to best learn the spellings. Word usage and age-appropriate definitions will be discussed. Student-Teacher interaction following this video lesson includes sharing the sorted list and creative sentences with the teacher for feedback.Lesson 2"Spelling for the Visual Learner"I will model how to add color and shapes to the spelling words to identify where all the sounds are in the words and how each sound is spelled. (Colored pencils or fine-tipped markers are highly recommended when following this lesson!). This video session also addresses study skills so that students learn how to study effectively for their spelling tests. Many of these skills carry over to many academic classes as well.Lesson 3Review and Spelling TestI will briefly provide instruction on words that students frequently struggle with so they remember those spellings on the test and beyond. After a refresher on those frequently misspelled words from the list, a spelling test is given. Students are expected to follow the video to write the spelling words as they are called. Students will write the spelling words and follow along with me to check their work for accuracy.
1. Students will learn the proper spellings of middle school-level words and their usage in the English language. 2. Special focus on phonemic awareness, homophones, and words that just don't fit the "rules". 3. Students will gain confidence in their spelling, reading, and writing skills.
I am a state-certified Elementary Teacher who has become aware of the absence of structured spelling instruction in the schools today. In my private reading tutoring practice, I have watched my students become strong and independent spellers by using my approach.
