スペルを克服する: よくあるスペルの間違い 4 つをマスターする (自分のペースで学習)

Spelling can be frustrating! However, as you slowly learn the spelling rules behind many of our spelling patterns, the frustration decreases and confidence builds. Class is taught in an upbeat, encouraging, and multi-sensory environment where you will learn the spelling generalizations behind 4 common spelling mistakes:

•	Suffixes such as -ed, -ful, -ness, -ly, -er, -est
•	Contractions
•	The Homonyms to/too/two and there/their/they’re

Please note there are no live meetings for this class. One instructional video will be posted for each lesson. Each video will be about 25-30 minutes in length. 

Each instructional video will include:
1.	spelling warm-ups to strengthen the skills needed to become a confident speller
2.	a short custom-made, engaging video to present each spelling rule
3.	practice applying the rule to spelling words, including verbal and written methods to ensure the learners remember the rule itself, and dictation of words, phrases & sentences
4.	oral spelling
5.	oral decoding

Learners are encouraged to pause the video when needed to check their work and review for complete understanding before moving on. 

Homework is also posted each week. Learners are encouraged to complete as many homework activities as needed to fully grasp that week's spelling pattern.  One homework assignment will be an audio file with 8 dictated sentences. A Word List will also be provided each week with suggested multi-sensory activities to do to enable the learner to interact with and master the words covered in class. Once the homework is submitted, the teacher is usually able to respond within 24 hours with corrections, detailed feedback, encouragement, and added spelling tips when applicable. 

Visual and varying formats in the teaching style of this class will keep learners engaged while providing lots of practice time. This helps the new spelling patterns stick and become part of the learner’s spelling repertoire! 

Class content each week is as follows:
•	Week One: The Suffix -ed
•	Week Two: Suffixes 
•	Week Three: Contractions
•	Week Four: The Homonyms to/too/two and there/their/they’re

A self-paced course allows a learner to cover the material at times convenient for them. Students are encouraged to check in with the teacher anytime during the course using the Outschool Classroom. Private messages or Classroom comments are usually responded to within 24 hours.
