一年級拼寫，每週列表和測試，閱讀障礙友好 - 試用 - CEFR A1

👀In this trial week of my first-grade spelling program, students will experience my teaching style, content delivery, assignment expectations, and the difficulty of the class content. This class will help you and your student decide to enroll in my full-program flex class. In the full program, you can expect to see the same predictable format and assignments week after week. What you see in this trial class is what you will get in the full program, just with different word lists.

🌟  Instruction follows the Phono-Graphix method for teaching reading and spelling which was developed with students with Dyslexia in mind. The Phono-Graphix method is very similar to Orton-Gillingham and is based on the science of reading.

📝 Students will be assigned a weekly spelling list. Video instruction will contain a discussion of the patterns in the words and spelling rules as they apply. A list of 10 words will be provided.  Two bonus words will be included to accommodate a differentiated learning experience. Instructional videos will include proper usage of the spelling words, as well as age-appropriate definitions. 

📅 This class was created with a suggested weekly learning schedule with the first lesson on Monday, lesson two on Wednesday, and lesson three on Friday. The videos are labeled to reflect which lesson to do on which day. 

Your learner does not need to follow this schedule, but it is recommended that students complete the assignments between lessons. The lessons were not intended to be viewed all in one day and especially not to be viewed in one sitting. 

📹 Monday instructional video: Introduction of the word list. I will model how students should sort their list to best learn the spellings. Word usage and age-appropriate definitions will be presented. Student-Teacher interaction following this video lesson includes sharing the sorted list and creative sentences with the teacher for feedback.

📹 Wednesday instructional video: "Spelling for the Visual Learner." In this video, I will model how to add color and shapes to the spelling words to identify where all the sounds are in the words and how each sound is spelled. (Colored pencils or fine-tipped markers are highly recommended when following this lesson!). This video session also addresses study skills so students learn how to study effectively for their spelling tests. Many of these skills carry over to other academic classes as well.

  📹  Friday instructional video: I will briefly provide instruction on words that students frequently struggle with so they remember those spellings on the test and beyond.  After a refresher on those frequently misspelled words from the list, a spelling test is given. Students are expected to follow the video to write the spelling words as they are called. I use the spelling words in sentences to clarify ambiguity concerning homophones. Students will write the spelling words and follow along with me to check their work for accuracy. Students are encouraged to submit their tests in a private message to me. 

✍🏻 Teacher-created worksheets will be available for additional weekly practice. A minimum of two homework submissions per week are recommended.   A video-prompted spelling test is included in the third lesson so students can measure their level of success.
