List as a group the type of words that are best suited to the different approaches. Give examples of words for each type 9Meaningful Homework? Make a list of spelling homework tasks commonly assigned in school. e.g. write the word ten times, use in a sentence, etc. Sort into the instructional spelling approaches. What pattern do you see?Whole Word Spelling Phonetic Spelling Morphemic Spelling As a group, generate a list of common spelling homework tasks. Sort these tasks into the type of spelling instruction they support. You should see a huge number of spelling homework tasks that emphasize only whole word instruction. 10Spelling Words- how do I pick the words?Based on their stage of spelling development that follow a pattern for discoveryWords their Way Spelling Inventory Follow the prescribed curriculum based on a strong sequence of spelling instruction Writing Road to Reading, Spectrum Spelling, Just Words Do Not. -use the words that they spelled wrong from their writings unless they are a part of a pattern of words -sight words- unless they are one or two trick words that are taught by whole word spelling -vocabulary words- vocabulary words are to teach word meaning-words they dont know the meaning of (the problem with Spellography is that most of the words are unknown to urban school children 5 principles for understanding English orthography Orthography We spell by language of origin.We spell by phoneme-grapheme correspondence.We spell position of phoneme or grapheme in a word.We spell by letter order and sequence patterns, or orthographic conventions.We spell by meaning (morphology) and part of speech.

Latin influence around the world

The Latin alphabet, also called the Roman alphabet, is the most widely used alphabetic writing system in the world today. It evolved from the western variety of the Greek alphabet called the Cumaean alphabet, and was initially developed by the ancient Romans to write the Latin language.

The Latin alphabet spread, along with the Latin language, from the Italian Peninsula to the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea with the expansion of the Roman Empire. The eastern half of the Empire, including Greece, Asia Minor, the Levant, and Egypt, continued to use Greek as a lingua franca, but Latin was widely spoken in the western half, and as the western Romance languages evolved out of Latin, they continued to use and adapt the Latin alphabet.With the spread of Western Christianity during the Middle Ages, the alphabet was gradually adopted by the peoples of northern Europe who spoke Celtic languages (displacing the Ogham alphabet) or Germanic languages (displacing their earlier Runic alphabets), Baltic languages, as well as by the speakers of several Finno-Ugric languages, most notably Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian. The alphabet also came into use for writing the West Slavic languages and several South Slavic languages, as the people who spoke them adopted Roman Catholicism. The speakers of East Slavic languages generally adopted the Cyrillic alphabet along with Orthodox Christianity. The Serbian language uses both alphabets, with Latin being the predominant alphabet in the province of Vojvodina.

Over the past 500 years, the alphabet has spread around the world, to the Americas, Oceania, and parts of Asia, Africa, and the Pacific with European colonization, along with the Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, Swedish and Dutch languages. The Latin alphabet is also used for many Austronesian languages, including Tagalog and the other languages of the Philippines, and the official Malaysian and Indonesian languages, replacing earlier Arabic and indigenous Brahmic alphabets. Some glyph forms from the Latin alphabet served as the basis for the forms of the symbols in the Cherokee syllabary developed by Sequoyah; however, the sounds of the final syllabary were completely different. L. L. Zamenhof used the Latin alphabet as the basis for the alphabet of Esperanto.

On the wiki spaces pages is a phoneme/grapheme assessment that can be used to determine their knowledge of the 70 (common) grapheme of English

Directions Show the student the grapheme and have them tell you all the sounds it makes. If they get all of the sounds put a slash through the grapheme.Next make the sounds of a given grapheme and have the child write the spellings for that sound. If they get it correct put an opposite slash through the graphemeIf they have an X through the grapheme then they know the grapheme both expressively and receptively Any grapheme that doesnt have a slash must be taught. 38Lessons to Teach Phoneme/Grapheme Correspondence

Very uncommon spellings eiieeyeighoeeuuieuaughWe spell by letter patternGeneralizations About Spelling PatternsThe letters j, y, and i are almost never doubled.The letters j and v never end words.Many consonants are doubled before suffixes beginning with vowels.Consonant digraphs (sh, th, wh, ch, sh, ng, ph, gh) are never doubled.Some word families have unexpected long vowel sounds (e.g., bind, kind, cold, most).6/16/201387There are many spelling principles for participants to review on pages 4748 of their manuals, so you might take a few minutes to review the main ideas listed on this slide before completing Exercise 5.1. Although this slide is congested and includes a lot of information, participants will become more familiar with these generalizations as they complete Exercise 5.1 on page 49.There are two additional jobs of the letter e: It can make /th/ voiced, as in bathe and soothe, and it can mark the letter s as /s/ in words such as nose and use.Exercise 5.1: Explain the Spellingshatchet 6. caughtrind 7. havecygnet 8. fullestguest 9. knapsackplayground10. chlorophyllWe will review ideas on the following slide.p. 496/16/201388Have participants work in small groups to complete Exercise 5.1.

Answers are animated.Mention that all of these answers are included on pages 109110 of the Module 3 participant's manual if participants need to refer back to them later; this will save you time from having to wait for participants to write down all of this information.Exercise 5.1: Explain the Spellings 6. caught The augh is a four-letter grapheme for /au/.

92Why Teach Syllables?To chunk unfamiliar words accurately and quickly:reincarnation, accomplishmentTo distinguish similar words:scarred scaryripping ripeningslimmer slimyTo remember spelling:written, writinggrapple, maplemisspelled, accommodatep. 506/16/201393Review these three reasons why it is important to teach syllable types.Spoken and Written Syllables Are DifferentThe syllable breaks that seem natural in speech donot guide conventions for dividing written syllables.

Say these words aloud. Where do you hear the syllable boundaries?bridle riddletable tattereven everp. 506/16/201394Ask participants to say the words bridle riddle aloud. Now, have them say these two words aloud syllable-by-syllable. Participants should note that the natural breaks in speech are the same for both wordsbridle and riddle. We do not say riddle.Oral-language syllabication is different from what we are discussing herethe written, orthographic patterns that govern syllable division. Explain that syllable types are an orthographic convention specifically designed by the Anglo-Saxon in order to assist in decoding multisyllabic words.The application of syllable conventions is helpful when breaking down written words to help with both spelling patterns and pronunciation of vowels.Six Syllable Types1.

Leftovers: Odd and Schwa SyllablesA syllable with a schwa (empty) vowel sound is found in the unaccented syllable, typically in an affix (prefix or suffix). Sample words with schwa:gar-bage a-bove ac-tive wag-onSample words with odd spellings: con-science par-tial fur-ni-tureFrequent review, word walls, and multisensory techniques are needed to teach these syllables.6/16/2013108Although many of these syllables are taught in upper-elementary grades and middle school, they can occur in texts for young children. Teachers need to know why these spellings appear odd in order to correctly explain them to their students. These syllables take on sounds that are not expected by looking at their letter patterns. Learning these spellings takes much orthographic memory.

Some Accent GuidelinesAccent: The stress/vocal emphasis placed on one or more syllables in a multisyllabic word. Accent the first word of an Anglo-Saxon compound.Accent the root in a Latin-based word.Accent the syllable before -tion.Accent the syllable two syllables before suffixes -ate, -age, or -ity.Accent the first syllable to make a noun; second syllable to make a verb in some words.p. 586/16/2013109Review the concept of accented syllables with participants. This is a particularly important concept for students to understand, as the accented syllable is the syllable that is most true to the sound-spelling correspondences. Unaccented syllables typically include a schwa vowel sound, either /u/ or /i/, and can be spelled with an a, e, i, o, or u. The readings and spellings of unaccented syllables are particularly challenging for students and demand a strong orthographic memory. Spelling Rules for Adding Endings: Consonant DoublingRule 1snapsnapsnapped,snappingConsonant Doubling Rule (1-1-1 Rule): 1-syllable word 1 vowel Ends in 1 consonantDouble the final consonant when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel.ends in one consonantone-syllable word,one voweldouble the final consonant before adding suffixes that begin with a vowelp. 616/16/2013110Review the consonant doubling rule, sometimes referred to as the 1-1-1 Rule, listed on page 61 of the LETRS Module 3 participants manual. You may want to ask participants to give you another word that follows each of these ending rules as you explain them.Spelling Rules for Adding Endings: Drop Silent eRule 2scare,extremescaring, scared, scaryextremelyBase word ends with a silent e.Drop that final e when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel.silent esuffix begins with a vowelsuffix begins with a consonantsilent ep. 616/16/2013111Review this ending rule.Have participants come up with additional words that follow this rule.Spelling Rules for Adding Endings: Change Y to IRule 3drypreydriedpreyeddryingpreyingBase ends in y.The y is preceded by a consonant.Change the y to i before adding a suffix (except -ing).root ends in ybefore a consonantchange y to i before adding a suffix (except -ing)root ends in ybefore a vowelp. 616/16/2013112Review this ending rule.Have participants come up with additional words that follow this rule.How do we teach these conceptsControlled Word Lists Word Sorts Words their WayWord analysis We spell by meaning Classes of MorphemesFreeBoundcontentfunctionprefixesrootssuffixesinflectionsderivationsbase words and compoundsgrammatical glue words6/16/2013115Take a minute to have participants review the types of morphemes found in the English language. The focus will be on free morphemes, or those morphemes that are easier for students to read and spell and are typically taught in the earlier grade levels. Free and Bound MorphemesFree Morphemes

Base words that stand alone without another morpheme:people, coffee

A compound is two free morphemes combined into one word: daylight, firefighterBound Morphemes

Prefixes, roots, suffixes, and combining forms: un-re-pen-tent

Bound morphemes must be in combination with other morphemes to make a word. They cant stand alone.pp. 65-666/16/2013116Review the difference between free and bound morphemes with participants. You might ask them to come up with examples of each in order to quickly check their understanding of these concepts.What to Teach?Most common prefixes:in un mis dis fore re de pre a

Most common roots:duct fic fer tent tend tens mit miss cap ceit ceive cep cept cip ten tain tim sist sta stat stit pon pose pound plic ply graph ology(these roots account for more than 100,000 multisyllable words)

From Henry, M. (2003). Unlocking Literacy. Baltimore, MD: Brooks Publishing Company.6/16/2013117Review these prefixes, roots, and suffixes, explaining that teachers should focus more time on those that are most prevalent in our language. Refer participants to Appendix B in their manuals for a complete list of the most commonly found prefixes, roots, and suffixes.

Base words that end with a voiced sound correspond to the voiced plural morpheme sound, /z/. Base words that end with sibilant sounds (/s/, /z/, /sh/, /zh/, /ch/, /j/) require the /z/ sound for their plural forms. Derivational Suffix MorphemesNounsAdjectivesAdverbs-ment-ity-tion-ful-ous-al-lyCan you think of words that fit into these categories?6/16/2013124Review the general principles of derivational suffixes:More numerous than inflected endings.Most are Latin in origin.Mark part of speech.Ask participants to brainstorm examples of words that fit into the categories listed on this slide. Remind participants that the English spelling system tends to preserve morpheme spellings in spite of pronunciation changes.

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 Model a lesson Before I model a lesson, lets make sure we have some rituals and routines established - discovery - echo - developing meaning - tapping out - phoneme/grapheme mapping - line spelling Sample Lesson- focus on three principlesOrthography We spell by language of origin.We spell by phoneme-grapheme correspondence.We spell position of phoneme or grapheme in a word.We spell by letter order and sequence patterns, or orthographic conventions.We spell by meaning (morphology) and part of speech.
