This class is geared towards learners who have a basic understanding of short vowel spelling and are ready for more. Learners will be introduced to the top important spelling rules for their level as a whole group and will practice that rule with the whole class. The first few minutes of class will be spent introducing the rule and looking at examples. Learners will then practice spelling and sorting rules on their own as we discuss in class. Finally students will be able to independently practice some words on their own to apply the spelling rule leaned that week through a fun end of class game. In addition to learning a spelling rule and writing that rule in a weekly spelling notebook, learners will also practice flashcards to review each rule and use these flashcards to analyze a few new words each week. This helps to understand not only HOW words are spelled but WHY they are spelled the way they are. Words will be posted in the classroom each week so students can continue to practice and apply each rule outside of class. Here are the rules in the order they will be taught so you can jump in or leave at any time depending on what your learner needs: Week of: Week 1: X and Qu Week 2: The Floss Rule, when to double ss, ff, ll, zz at the end of words Week 3: 3 letter blends Week 4: Job 1 of silent e is to make the vowel long, also s says /z/ most of the time with this rule Week 5: contractions Week 6: ng words Week 7: nk words Week 8: c or k says /k/ in words Week 9: i or o followed by 2 consonants Week 10: Job number 2 of silent e is to keep words from ending in i, v, u, j Week 11: o can say short u Week 12: Vowel pairs ee and ea Week 13: Vowel pairs ai and ay Week 14: Vowel pair oa and also ow Week 15: Sounds of long i Week 16: /ar/ Week 17: /or/ Week 18 /er/, er, ir ,ur Week 19: c or k at the end of words
