Contents Foreword
Phonics and the Common Words Teaching and learning spelling are progressive processes, which are structured in this scheme, marrying phonics with common words. Children learn best when spelling is taught systematically and in a structured manner over time. Spelling needs explicit instruction for the majority of children, particularly for those who fail to catch it because of inherent difficulties. The NLS Framework for Teaching (Beard 1998) recommended that successful management of the teaching of spelling should include structured teaching, which involves the following, all of which are an integral part in the My Spelling Workbook series: making it clear what has to be learnt dividing material into manageable chunks teaching in a well considered sequence the use of material in which children make use of hunches and prompts regular testing for progress immediate feedback Matching Teaching Methods to Learning Styles Teacher Information ................................................ iv vi Curriculum Links .............................................................1

This phonic based, multisensory spelling series introduces strategies that feature Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write and Check. The series promotes independent learning of spelling in context and features a proven metacognitive approach to spelling. The metacognitive approach encompasses logical and systematic thinking, combined with the skills of visualisation, emotion and creativity. Through using all aspects of thinking, children not only learn how to spell but also learn how to retain and use these words in context.
in g
Success with this series is achieved through the reinforcement activities provided in the My Spelling Workbook series. These workbooks cover the strategies in a fun, creative way ensuring that both the child and the teacher enjoy the learning process. The Teachers Guides provide the metacognitive strategies. These are clearly outlined using flash cards, assessment sheets, extra activities, guidelines for use with children with special needs, extension activities for more able children, dictation, word lists and answers.
Vi
Each workbook contains 18 lists of phonic based, commonly used words to develop a base vocabulary for primary school children. These help to develop independent spellers through a variety of activities including: word building memory tests word study word puzzles discovering patterns in words.

Teacher Information
Each workbook contains 18 spelling units. Each unit is made up of four pages, with each unit containing: a list of 22 words to be learned, focusing on one or more phonic word patterns and two commonly used words word building and word study activities revision words from the previous workbook.
The first page of each unit contains the list words. Before the children see the list, it is recommended that the words are pre-tested. This can be used as a benchmark for how well the children learn the list or which words they need to focus on throughout the unit.
Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write, Check
iv
Vi
ew
Look at the word. Look for words within words. Look at the shape of the word.
Say each letter aloud: either as its letter name or sound.
Trace each letter as the sound is said. This will reinforce the kinaesthetic movement and sound pattern and becomes a physical and auditory memory.
Cover the word. (A time factor can be built into this part. Test after one minute, 10 minutes, one hour, the next day etc.)
Write the spelling word.
Check the word with the original.
in g
Sa m
Look, Say, Trace, Cover, Write, Check This represents the basic method recommended for word learning. Children should follow this multisensory process when learning each word. It is a proven method of retaining a word in the memory and should be a procedure that is followed consistently, to assist with the learning of further words.
Each word list table has a series of columns. After learning each word, the children should hide their word with their hand and write it in the first Practise column. This should be repeated after a few days, but written into the second Practise column. To help evaluate the childrens progress, if the word is spelt correctly in the test, a tick should be placed in the T column. A tick should be placed in the D column if the word is spelt correctly in the dictation. Problem words can be recorded in the Difficult Words I Have Found table on page 74, for additional learning.

Teacher Information
Each unit contains word building and word study activities. A bank of activities is used throughout the book, including: unjumbling words word worms finding small words crosswords word searches synonyms antonyms and many more.
A word building template is found on page 14 of this book. This can be used for each unit of words. Word building examples for every list word are found on pages 3956 of this book.
The fourth page of each unit includes Additional Activities to be done in the childs spelling pad. Their aim is to provide children with several opportunities to write the list words and to use them in various ways. These activities can be used with any of the units in the book.

The unit list is also repeated for further reference on the third page of each unit, along with a revision list of words from the previous level of My Spelling Workbook. It is recommended that revision tests are used on a regular basis to ensure previous list words are kept current in the childs memory.

Spelling Timetable
Teachers can use the activities in My Spelling Workbook to suit the needs of their class and the amount of time available for spelling. A 10-day spelling programme for each list is suggested below, as a way of using this workbook. It allows for 25 minutes each day, which could be a combination of class work and homework. Teachers may wish to add or delete from this timetable, according to their needs. This timetable is based on a metacognitive approach, which is explained in detail on the following pages. Daily partner testing is a key feature of the timetable, allowing children to practise 35 list words at a time. A worksheet for recording partner test results is provided on page 15.

Metacognitive Approach
Aim: To encourage children to become successful independent spellers and thinkers. Introductory Stage
Each category of question (Clarifying, Literal, Inferential, Personal, Visualising, Predictive, Summarising and Reflective) should be explained to the children. It is important that they understand what kind of question they are asking. Not all cards will be relevant in every situation. On occasion, they will be. Some of the questions may appear to be the same but are repeated under different categories. This is because the context is different and this should be explained to the children.
Preparation Stage
The teacher chooses a suitable spelling word. A word that encompasses all the categories of questions is better. However, it should be stressed that not all categories are relevant to every word; for example, yesterday. The cards are displayed for all children to see. Teachers might prefer to enlarge the cards to A3 when photocopying or to laminate them. (See pages 613).
Modelling Stage
Explanation of Question Types

Clarifying questions are questions that make words, phrases or concepts clear and understandable. For example: What is the word?
yesterday
What does this word mean?
the day before today day yesterday
Does it have an easily recognisable root?
Can the word be broken into smaller sounds?
Literal questions are questions that have a straightforward answer found in the text. For example: What is the tricky part of the word?
ter
Is there a rule for this word?
Vi
ew
in g
Inferential Questions
8
no
Sa m
Can I think of some other way to help remember how to spell this word?
Inferential questions are questions that ask you to deduce answers from the text. For example: Can I think of some other way to help remember how to spell this word?
break the word into three little words: yes, ter, day
Personal questions are questions that are relevant to oneself. For example: Is there a rhythm in the word?
pl e
The teacher models a word; for example, yesterday. The teacher demonstrates the thinking process involved by applying the questions suggested in the relevant categories and talking through his or her answers. Allowing children to interact with the teacher using this process can be very productive.
FLASH CARD
yes
Is there a familiar sound in this word?
ay
Is this a word that I need to learn to spell?
yes, because I use this word regularly

4
Metacognitive Approach
Visualising questions are questions that require you to see the word or shape in your mind. For example: Close your eyes. Can I see the word inside my head?
yes/no
Can I see the shape of the word?
Predictive questions are questions that require you to forecast a possible outcome. For example: Can I give another word with a similar spelling?
today has the same ending yes/no

Can I write it from memory and say each letter as I do it?
Summarising questions are questions that demand a reiteration and understanding of what went before. For example: Can I state the rule for this word?
there isnt a rule

Can I make a sentence for this word?
yes Yesterday I went swimming with my friend.

Can I write this word in a dictated passage?
yes/no
For example: How did I do?
happy/reasonably happy/unhappy
Were my choices of strategies effective?
yes/no
Will learning how to spell this word help me to spell other words?
yes/no
Was there anybody or anything that could have helped me?
I could have used a dictionary or got my family to test me.

How do I feel?
happy/reasonably happy/unhappy
The Reflective Questions card should be used as a challenge for every child. It is designed to extend the more successful speller. It also offers the opportunity for individuals to recognise their own areas of strengths and weaknesses. This card should be used either at the end of the lesson or after the dictation to reflect on success and to set new goals for themselves. The following pages contain a set of cards for encouraging this way of thinking.

Reflective questions review the strategies used to learn new words and how you feel about your progress.

For example: ch ch ase ill
Trace list words on partners backpartner guesses which spelling word was traced.
Cut pairs of list words in half and rejoin them. Children then see if their partner can guess the words.
For example: picket blannic = picnic blanket
Guess the word Give a partner the first letter of a word chosen from the spelling list. The partner then has to guess the word before the whole word is revealed, one letter at a time.
For example, the beginning of a game using the word plane would look like this:

Children with Special Needs

The spelling activities in My Spelling Workbook can be modified or added to for children with special needs. Some additional suggestions are included below for children with learning difficulties. The worksheet on page 26 is designed for children who fall into this category. Children in need of extension will benefit from many of the suggestions included in the Additional Activities pages of this book. Page 27 also contains an opportunity for spelling extension.
Strategies For Children With Learning Difficulties

Strategy Encourage children to have a go and take risks with approximate spelling. Examples For example, using have a go pads or spelling journals for children to try out their spelling when writing stories etc.
Encourage as much reading as possible.
Include different sources of print around the classroom for children to find correct spelling; for example: opposites, colours, favourite sayings, days of the week.
Longer words can be chunked (broken into chunks rather than conventional syllables) to assist spelling.
Emphasise spelling rules.
Encourage children to look at difficult words, focus on the problem part, close their eyes, and then write it.
ew
Write list words on graph paper, cut out the letters, and then build the word from the cut-out letters.
Vi

Sa m
c For example: c
For example: these list words could be broken up as follows: brake, shake, snake; base, case, chase; plate, mate, hate.
For example, cent i pede, el ec tric, in vent ing. Children should be encouraged to choose how to chunk the words themselves, so as to suit each childs preferred learning style.
For example: magic e, i before e except after c
For example: the problem part of night might be igh
pl e

Strategies For Children With Learning Difficulties
Strategy Use games like word bingo and word quizzes. Examples Word Bingo Children copy words on bingo cards, checking their spelling, then cover words with counters on their cards if the word is called. Word Quizzes Using a word list, children write the correct word; for example, Write the word ending in ade; Write the word with ire in the middle. Make new words by writing letters in front of a sound.
For example: ine could be added to with v, tw, f, m, n, etc.
Make alphabet books to use as personal dictionaries.
Children write any difficult words they have found under each letter.
Play snap with compound word parts, prefixes and suffixes.
Use list words to make spelling ladders, with each word starting with the letter which ends the word before.

For example:
For example: foot matches with ball; tele- matches with phone; govern matches with ment
Decorate or illustrate list words.

Unit 1
Unit Focus
This unit focuses on choosing the graphemes or, er, en or on to represent a sound (phoneme) at the end of a word. This unit also includes two common, high frequency words, read and goes.
Teaching Points
Identify the phoneme and how it is represented. Break each word into syllables; i.e. sud/den/ly (each syllable must contain a vowel [in ly there is no vowel, there is still a vowel sound]). Discuss how some words have double consonants to keep the preceding vowel short. Sort the list words to the graphemes and brainstorm other words to add to each list.

There are two main uses for apostrophes. One is to show when a letter or letters have been omitted; e.g. didnt did not. Hyphenated words are compound words that would be unclear, hard to read or excessively long without the hyphen; e.g. nosmoking sign and black-cab driver. Capital letters are used for proper nouns; i.e. names of places and months of the year; e.g. Europe and January. Some compound nouns add s to the first word; others add s to the second word; e.g. chief-of-staff, chiefs-of staff; lay-by, lay-bys.
