ALL Spelling Worksop

Do we have a coherent, consistent delivery of spelling across the school?
We have the program, are we using it? Do Survey.

We should not be doing pockets of fix-ups. What happens with our ALL target students when they move back into class?

WARM UP: How many different spelling patterns for the 'f' sound:
of phone elephant off laugh fantastic whanau

Letter a: and all ate take cat ask antennae   (3 different sounds)

We say sound it out to write it down, but then there are different ways of spelling it.

If students don't know their sounds, they will struggle to learn to spell. Watch video of Joy Allcock - no matter what spelling program you are using. From language to Literacy - The bucket document (Staff PLD possibly)

Also look at The impact of spelling on writing  also: Joy Allcock classroom Practice

Compare to:
Word Lab Classroom Practice
Introducing a new chart and independent activities

Could we still do Pseudo Test to determine gaps?

Any spelling program can work as long as the students:
Sat it
Hear it
Identify it
Write it
Use it

Use visual prompts for these in all classes:
