Todo sobre la ortografía, nivel uno: pasos 21 a 25

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. 

Students should have completed All About Spelling Steps 1-16 before continuing with this class.

During the first week we will review the phonograms, sound cards, key cards, and word cards from steps 1-16. Then students will review initial and final blends as well as how to segment words that contain blends. Students will learn when to use c or k at the beginning of a word. Also students will learn when to use k or ck at the end of a word. We will learn the phonograms ck, ng, and nk as well as when to double the letters f, l, and s at the end of a word. Students will learn how to spell compound words and plural words. We will learn about long vowel sounds. Students will discover how long and short vowel sounds are related to whether a word has an open or closed syllable.

Each week I will incorporate the following activities into our lessons:
1. We will review the phonogram cards, sound cards, key cards, and word cards.
2. I will introduce a new spelling concept through direct modeling with the letter tiles. This will be followed by guided practice with the tiles. Then students will independently practice the phonogram or spelling concept in writing. Finally students will apply the new phonogram or spelling concept by using it in writing a word, phrase, or sentence.
3. I will assess your child's progress through his/her understanding of the phonogram cards, sound cards, key cards, and word cards. Also mastery will be determined through his/her demonstration of the spelling concept while building with the tiles or writing the words.
