  4. Spelling • Spelling instruction is a component of our Tier 1 ELA instruction. Tier 1 instruction is the key component of tiered instruction. During Tier 1 instruction, all students receive instruction within a core program that is aligned with our 95% Group Multisyllable Routines. • Our spelling instruction will provide the students with direct and explicit instruction on how to apply the knowledge of syllable types and divisions in order to read and write multisyllable words. The expectation is that the students learn the pattern of consonants and vowels of the particular syllable type rather than simply memorizing their list of words. • If, at times, your child’s list seems “too easy,” please keep in mind that we are not only looking for students to spell these words in isolation, but to carry over the pattern into their daily writing as well. • Spelling instruction will take place every Wednesday.Our Wednesday spelling block will consist of the following Test the previous week’s list Introduce a new pattern Assign a new list - tested Wed.
