  15. Feature Guide Directions • Match each word spelled by student with real word in list. • In each column, check or circle each feature that the student used correctly. • Count number of features used correctly and record in Feature Points column. • If student spelled word correctly, one extra point is added in last column for Words Spelled Correctly. • Reversals are counted as correct but record them on feature guide for reference. • Staple spelling inventory to feature guide. • Use information to group students according to needs.

  17. Feature Analysis • Find first column with 5/7 or less. • This column determines the feature at which to begin instruction. • Circle stage and whether in Early, Middle, or Late part of stage. • Group like students together. • Go to that leveled book and the corresponding unit to begin sorting activities with group.

  18. Practice • Choose spelling inventory sample. • Review and discuss with peers. • Complete Feature Guide and share results.
