Spelling Program 2014

Each Friday students are pre-tested on upcoming spelling words. They will either be allocated the Core or Challenge list to practice the following week for homework. These words are based on phonic patterns and spelling rules. All students will also learn 5 topic-related Interest words. Supplementary words will be based on students individual needs. A few students will focus purely on the Core list. Most students will complete Core, Interest and 2 individual words. Some students will work on the Challenge, Interest and 5 individual words. For the majority of students this will total 15 words per week, however students with lower ability in spelling will have 8 words.

Main focus Term 1 Long vowel sounds Term 2 Consonant clusters Term 3 Spelling rules Term 4 initial/medial /final clusters

EN1-5A uses a variety of strategies, including knowledge of sight words and lettersound correspondences, to spell familiar words
Students:

Develop and apply contextual knowledge -demonstrate growing awareness of how accurate spelling supports the reader in understanding written texts to read fluently Understand and apply knowledge of language forms and features know that regular one-syllable words are made up of letters and common letter clusters that correspond to the sounds heard, and how to use visual memory to write high-frequency words (ACELA1778) understand how to use digraphs, long vowels, blends and silent letters to spell words, and use morphemesand syllabification to break up simple words and use visual memory to write irregular words (ACELA1471) recognise common prefixes and suffixes and how they change a word's meaning (ACELA1455, ACELA1472) begin to understand how knowledge of word origins supports spelling and vocabulary Respond to and compose texts spell high-frequency and common sight words accurately when composing texts spell known words using letter names isolate and write the initial, medial and final sound of a word exchange one letter in a written word with a different letter to make a new word use double consonants where appropriate, eg 'hopping' begin to use a dictionary for spelling activities and word meaning recognise when a word is spelt incorrectly use morphemic and phonological knowledge when spelling
