  1. Stages of Spelling Development

  2. How do children learn how to spell? Concepts of print Letter-sound correspondence (match) Spelling within a one-syllable word Build words with multi-syllables Word meanings related to spelling

  3. How do children learn how to spell? INVENTED SPELLING… • Concepts of print • Letter-sound correspondence • Spelling within a word • Build words with multi-syllables • Word meanings 1. Emergent:Scribbles>letters & directionality 2. Letter-Name: Alphabetic principle, consonants / short vowels /cons.blends 3. Within-word patterns: long vowel, bossy-r, vowel combinations 4. Syllables & Affixes (Word Endings): plurals, tenses 5.Derivational Relations:relationship btw spelling & meaning, various forms

  5. A clarification… • Letter-Name Alphabetic Spellers tend to spell by the NAME of the letter (Y = why; YN = when; UZ = use) and they often use the uppercase letter • Early (mostly letter names) • Middle > Late (combine names & sounds) • Next steps: Focus on the SOUND of the letter and how SOUNDS get combined to form words

  7. How do you know what spelling stage they are in? • Look at what patterns they are USING • Then look at what patterns they are CONFUSING • The things they are confusing indicates their developmental stage and what you should teach next LET’S TRY IT OUT

  8. Stages of Spelling Development • Stage 1: Emergent Spelling • Using: • representational drawing • distinct writing forms • directionality • partial phonetic spelling • names and sight words Confusing: - Full phonetic spelling

  9. Stages of Spelling Development Stage 2: Letter Name – Alphabetic Spelling Early Letter NameMiddle-Late Letter Name Within-word confusions (mostly vowel teams) represents most salient sounds with beg. consonants

  10. Stages of Spelling Development Stage 3: Within Word Pattern Spelling Early Within Word Confusing: Substituting short vowels for ambiguous vowels; Inconsistent with long vowel teams within words Using: consonant blends, short vowels; Basic sight words

  11. Stages of Spelling Development • Stage 4: Syllables and Affixes Spelling Using proper spellings of one syllable words - Confusing: Spelling patterns at the syllable break; doubling or dropping Letters; confusing suffixes like “tion” in national

  12. Stage 5: Derivational Relations Spelling • Root words can help spell words (e.g., favor, challenge, divide, differ) – longer words DERIVED from…

  13. Steps in Determining Student’s Stage of Spelling Development • 1. Choose writing samples • 2. Identify misspelled words • 3. Make a spelling analysis chart • 4. Categorize student’s misspellings • 5. Tally the errors • 6. Identify topics for instruction

  14. Spelling Development in Within Word Pattern Stage(Transitional Readers) • Vowel patterns (long, r-controlled, w-controlled, l-controlled) • Dipthongs (Whiners – oo, oy/oi, ow/ou; aw/au) • Complex Consonants (ck, ch/tch, kn, dge/ge, squ, scr/spr/str) • Pacing Chart WTW p. 216-217

  15. In what stage of spelling development is Mark? Today a person at home called us and said that a bomb was in our school and made us go outside and made us wait a half of an hour and it made us waste our time on learning. The end. (Written by Marc in Grade 1)

  16. Letter-Name Alphabetic Within-Word Syllables & Affixes Other Issues Conclusion: Goals for Word Study Instruction: 1. 2. 3. 4.

  17. Letter Formation b for d z for s Today a person at home called us and said that a bomb was in our school and made us go outside and made us wait a half of an hour and it made us waste our time on learning. The end.

  18. Conclusion: Marc spelled 56% of the words correctly and most of his spelling errors were in the letter-name and within-word patterns stages, which is typical of first graders’ spelling. • What goals for word study instruction? • Letter d (vs. b) and letter s (vs. z) • High-frequency words • CVCe vowel pattern • ed past tense ending
