Spelling Scope and Sequence

Suggested Sequence for Phonemic AwarenessLiteracy Teaching Guide: Phonemic Awareness p15

Students need to be taught:

PhonemeIdentity

Recognise that words can begin with the same sound, then produce such words Recognise that words can end with the same sound, then produce such words Recognise that words can have the same medial sound, then produce such words

Phoneme Isolation

Recognise that words can be broken down into individual sounds, then produce such words

Foundation Skills for Reading and

Spelling Blend sounds to make words Segment words into sounds

Phoneme Addition Recognise that sounds can be added to make new words, then produce such words

Phoneme Deletion Recognise that sounds can be deleted from words to make new words, then produce such words

Phoneme Substitution

Recognise that sounds may be substituted to make new words, then produce such words

KindergartenTeachers are encouraged to introduce small groups of letters in quick succession so that students can begin blending and segmenting as soon as possible. The letters/sounds have been grouped so they can be introduced over a 2 week period. Revision of learned sounds and letters will continue throughout the year.

Syllabus Outcome: WSE1.11: Begins to use letters to represent known words when spelling.

Literacy ContinuumPhonemic & Phonological

AwarenessPhonics

KnowledgeVisual Knowledge

Morphemic/ Etymological

Clusters 2-3The students will be working towards

achieving the outcomes and indicators stated in clusters 2 and 3 of the literacy

continuum. Spelling some recognisable words

(aspects of writing), Naming most of the letters in a

given word and the sounds they make (Phonics),

Identifying rhyming words, and blending and segmenting

(phonemic Awareness)

-am (Sam, am, ham)-at (sat, mat, at)

-it (sit, fit, hit)a-m-s-t-i I, a, am, boy, girl, and, he,

she, big, little, mum, dad

Morphemic:Uses -s for plural (boys, girls, mugs)

-ed and -ing endings.

Etymological:Discusses the origins of familiar

words and terms, eg ‘TV’ for television, and ‘phone’ for telephone.

-og (dog, fog, log)-ig (fig, dig, wig)

-ad (mad, sad, dad)f-d-r-o-g the, went, can, my, it, is, in,

we, like, to, go, on

-ug (mug, rug, hug)-ub (rub, tub, hub)-ob (job, sob, rob)

l-h-u-c-b was, at, said, you, me, an, play, so, are, had, has, have

-en (pen, men, hen)-eg (beg, leg, peg)

-ip (lip, rip, dip)n-k-e-v-p up, off, but, as, yes, no,

saw, fun, get, bad, hot, sad

-et (yet, wet, met)-ap (zap, cap, tap)

-ox(fox, box) j-z-w-y-xgood, nice, old, see, sat, be, cold, happy, with, got, new,

rain

Digraphs: Two letter combinations that make one sound. When using Elkonin boxes to segment sounds, these two letters are placed in the same box as

they only produce one sound. For example, shop becomes /sh/-/o/-/p/

qu- (quit, queen) qu put, very, sunny, kick, bysh (ship, shop, fish) sh do, live, wind, run, name

ch (chop, check, rich) ch came, because, up, mother, father

th (think, third, bath) th (as in think) once, after, some, out, going

th (the, that, this) th (as in that) called, all, upon, did, sister

wh (why, what, whale) wh brother, stop, give, love, after

-ck (duck, sick, back) -ck school, ate, him, watched, bought

Cluster 4The students will be working towards

achieving the outcomes and indicators stated in cluster 4 of the literacy

continuum. Names all letters in a given word, Says most of the sounds of letters

in a given word Spells unknown words phonetically

with most letters in the correct sequence

Adding or deleting phonemes to create new words.

To teach phoneme deletion or phoneme addition, use concrete materials such as counters to represent phonemes initially and then replace with

letter tiles to consolidate the link between phonemic awareness and letter-sound knowledge.Some examples:

Phoneme deletion- Say: listen to the word ‘slip’. Listen as I say the sounds in the word ‘slip’, /s/ /l/ /i/ /p/. There are four sounds

in this word (use concrete materials to show the number of sounds). What new word will I make if I take the /s/ away from

‘slip’? I will make the new word ‘lip’. Repeat activity as modelled and guided lessons as required.

Phoneme addition- Say: listen to the word ‘rip’. Listen as I say the sounds in the word ‘rip’, /r/ /i/ /p/. There are three sounds in

this word (use concrete materials to show the number of sounds). What new word will I make if I add the /t/ sound at the

beginning of the word ‘rip’? I will make the new word ‘trip’ (model using concrete materials).

Note: Teach phoneme deletion and phoneme addition before you teach phoneme substitution.

Concept Grouping:These are words which could be taught using any of the four forms

of knowledge but would usually be presented together. At this stage, they would be modelled for students and used by them from sources around the room. Some students could learn to spell these

words independently in their writing.

Some examples:

Days, Months, Seasons

Sunday, Monday...January, February...Summer, Autumn...

Numbers 1-20

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven...

Ordinal Numbers

First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth,

ninth, tenth.

Animals

pets: cat, dog, birds...farm: cow, sheep, pig...zoo: giraffe, elephant...

Literacy ContinuumPhonemic & Phonological

AwarenessPhonics Knowledge Visual Knowledge

Extension(From the four sources of

spelling)

Clusters 5 and 6The students will be working towards achieving the outcomes and indicators stated in clusters 5 and 6 of the literacy continuum.

Blends initial consonants with common vowel patterns or word families.

Uses knowledge of letter clusters and vowel diagraphs to spell unfamiliar words.

Segments sounds into consonant clusters to spell unfamiliar words.

Says the new word when one phoneme is substituted for another (phoneme substitution)

For example- Explain that sometimes a new word can be made by changing one of the sounds in a word. Say: ‘hat’. Now I am going to make a new word by changing the /t/ at the end of ‘hat’ to a /m/. Listen as I say the word /h/ /a/ /m/. The new word is ‘ham’. I like ham and eggs.

Important: Phonemic Awareness ceases as students are able to hear, identify and relate sounds to letters.
