The Spelling Lesson
Principals for a Research Based Spelling Lesson Spelling taught every day (not on
Mondays and Fridays) Spelling is purposefully transferred to all
writing (when a child asks “how do you spell” sound it out)
All spelling starts by activating the phonological processor first then the orthographic processor (sounds before letters/graphemes)
All spelling words follow a pattern (save trick words for something else like vocabulary or word of the day)
10, 15, or 30 How much time should be spent on
Spelling? - Actual skill part can be done in as little as 10 minutes a day if …
- the classroom has established strong rituals and routines
-strong systems of instruction are established (same routine every day)
-clear goals are established-entire schools is on the same page
