3/25/2020 0 Comments Brave SpellingYour students are the kind who use all they know to spell words independently. They don't need to ask for help because they have strategies to spell words all by themselves! Your students are brave spellers who do their best and persevere to spell the fanciest words. Your students have tried to spell words like; alphabet, trophy, and annoying. These brave spellers not only do their best, but analyze the patterns they notice all spellers trying. In these pictures you can see the patterns students noticed. This inquiry allows students to really dig deep into why they spell the way they do. It allows them to talk about the strategies they used when spelling and learn new strategies from others.
The more you can practice this independent spelling at home, the more your student will grow this year! Ask your student what spelling strategy they could try and remind your student, "You're a brave speller and won't give up!" Spelling strategies: "I said the word and wrote down sounds I heard like /a/ for alphabet." "I sounded it out letter by letter." /a/ /l/ /f/ /a/ /b/ /e/ /t/ "I sounded it out part by part." /al/ /fa/ /bet/ "I counted the syllables" 1/al/ 2/fa/ 3/bet/ "I listened for parts I knew. I know how to spell bet because it's a snap word. I know the word elephant, and that's kind of like alphabet, so I used a "ph" instead of "f."
