If you are like most speakers of English, you’ve been taught to spell a word by “sounding it out.” But you probably also know that this strategy only works a small handful of times. Between silent letters, letters that can make more than one sound, and words that sound exactly the same but are spelled differently…..the number of obstacles in the way of “sounding out” words makes this strategy inefficient at best and frustrating at worst. If rote memorization of lists of spelling words,...
12 lessons//12 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Introduction and the History of EnglishWe'll start by learning the history of English and how we have arrived at where we are and which factors have influenced our spelling. We'll also start dismantling the idea that the job of English spelling is to represent sound, and we'll examine several examples of words that prove that the primary purpose of the spelling system is to represent meaning.Week 2Lesson 2Morphemes, Phonemes and GraphemesStudents will learn the definitions of phonemes, graphemes, and morphemes and how they work together to spell words. We'll also learn about Word Families and how words from the same base will share connections in meaning and spelling.Week 3Lesson 3Suffixing Rules Part 1We'll take a closer look at suffixing and figuring out the suffixing rules for dropping a silent e and changing y to i. We will learn to think like "Word Scientists" to make hypotheses and then use words to test them and come to conclusions about the suffixing rules. We'll learn how to use flowcharts that help us apply the rules of suffixing.Week 4Lesson 4Suffixing Rules Part 2We will continue to work with suffixing rules for doubling a final consonant and practice applying the suffixing rules by building word with a matrix.Week 5Lesson 5Different Types of BasesWe will take a closer look at word families and start getting practice finding bases in words. We will learn the difference between a free base and a bound base and see how words from the same word family that share a base will also always share connections in meaning and spelling, regardless of pronunciation.Week 6Lesson 6Word BuildingWe will review and practice the suffixing rules by building words from both free and bound bases.Week 7Lesson 7Four QuestionsWe will learn about four questions we can ask to help us determine how a word could be spelled, and we'll practice breaking words apart into their morphological pieces to see how determining a base word can help us understand a word's meaning and spelling as well as to find related words. We will learn how to use resources like etymonline to do research into a word's history.Week 8Lesson 8Content and Function WordsIn this lesson, we will learn that we can group words into one of two groups, and see how the conventions for each of these groups can impact the way many commonly-used words are spelled.Week 9Lesson 9Etymological MarkersWe'll learn that graphemes can have jobs in words other than to make sounds, and continue to see how a word's history and origins can impact its spelling.Week 10Lesson 10Words from Greek and Latin originsGreek and Latin are two major sources of words we still use in modern English, and in this lesson we will look at some of the bases and roots that come from these ancient languages.Week 11Lesson 11The Difference Between Bases and Roots.We will investigate the relationship between words that have obvious connections in meaning yet seem to have unexplainable differences in spelling. Consider word pairs like divide/division, write/written, one/only - and many others! By the end of this lesson, learners will understand the relationship between words like these.Week 12Lesson 12Summing It UpIn our final lesson of the class, we will learn more about how a word's history can impact its spelling and learn about the function of etymological markers. We'll also review and summarize our learning from the class.
At the end of this class, students will be able to: -break words apart into prefixes, bases, and suffixes -understand how to identify the graphemes, morphemes, and phonemes that create a word -understand that words that are connected in meaning will also be connected in spelling -understand how adding a suffix can change the spelling of a base word, for example by dropping a silent -e or doubling a final consonant -use provided flow charts and matrices to make decisions about spelling when adding a suffix to a base word -approach spelling problems by "thinking like a scientist," making a hypothesis about a word, testing their hypothesis, and seeing the results -be able to do research into the etymology of a word to learn more about its meaning, origin, and spelling patterns -know how to do research into a word's morphology and etymology
I have had extensive professional development in the ideas presented in this class, including working directly with Peter Bowers and WordWorksKingston to learn the principles of Structured Word Inquiry, and I have seven years of experience teaching this content in a classroom setting. I have also been involved in the creation of resources for colleagues to use in their teaching as they implemented SWI in their own classrooms.
숙제 제공
We will plan to complete practice work together during the class time, however there may be some weeks when we run out of time to finish the work together, and students may need to finish some of the work on their own. It should take students no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete.제공되는 평가
제공되는 성적
It is recommended for students to keep a small notebook for taking notes, writing word sums, and keeping lists of prefixes, suffixes and bases that we discover during the class.
Parents, be aware that this class could turn your child into a logophile (not sure what this word means? Check a dictionary, think about the parts that make up this word and see if you can think of words that are related in meaning and spelling. Now you're on your way to becoming a logophile yourself!) and will make them notice and ask questions about words and the spellings of words all day. You have been warned!
The content of this class is based off the work of Melvyn Ramsden, Peter Bowers, Sue Scabetta Hegland, Fiona Hamilton and many others. Some of the resources used were created by Peter Bowers and used with his permission. More about his work with the WordWorks Literacy Centre can be found at: https://wordworkskingston.com/WordWorks/Home.html During the class, we will use online resources including dictionary.com, thesaurus.com, and etymonline.com. Students will not need to access these sites directly, I will share these via screen share.
I love being a teacher and have wanted to be one for as long as I can remember! I now have 20 years of experience teaching elementary school and I hold two Master's degrees; one in Literacy, Curriculum and Instruction, and one in Library...
