Deletrear palabras puede ser muy fácil: práctica de ortografía para tercer y cuarto grado

In this ongoing class, learners will improve their spelling; learn, review, practice grade appropriate spelling words; learn, apply spelling-families, spelling patterns, spelling rules and learn dictionary skills to foster better spelling. 

Each week, learners will be given a new set of spelling words, a different list of words where we'll target spelling patterns, spelling-families and rules and apply these to each word on their spelling list.

Learners will simultaneously build a vocabulary of new words and be able to spell them too. They will learn dictionary skills: how to look up words, their definitions, synonyms, antonyms, homophones of words, multiple meanings, parts of speech, word roots, word history, and construct sentences using their spelling words. They will build a foundation for regular writing, giving learners a head start on spelling, punctuation and other concepts and give them a great understanding of the relationship between letters and sounds.

Learners will be given a new spelling list at the beginning of each week on Sunday, giving them time to look over the new list and begin reviewing the list and learn to spell each word on the list. They will be given exercises and activities to complete during the week which will help strengthen their ability to spell words from their list. Occasionally learners will engage in spelling games, spelling crosswords puzzles, and friendly spelling bee competition with the other learners in the class.

Learners are encouraged to create a set of flash cards each week 
and continue practicing the words after class ends and throughout the week and the year. If learners complete the course, they will have a complete set of over 600 words that they've been presented with and learned. Pop quizzes may be given from time-to-time.

Each session has new material so learners can begin at any time. This course is ongoing and thirty [30] lessons are taught throughout the year. Learners benefit most by transitioning through all thirty lessons. When learners are ready to take a course designed primarily to learn spelling rules, learners can transition to my "Uncover Spelling Secrets: Becoming a Confident Speller."
