6 Research-Based Techniques to Use with Spelling Instruction
1. Careful Word Selection- Word lists have been carefully selected based on the spelling TEKS for each grade level. Each list focuses on a spelling principle and high frequency words.
2. Using a Pretest – Study – Posttest Format-On the first day of the week, you will administer a pretest so that students will know which words they need to study. Students will be taught different routines to use for studying during the week, and finally take a posttest on Friday
3. Using a Self-Correction Technique- Research shows that having students correct their own spelling pretest, more learning occurs. The Circle Dot Method is one way to implement a Self-Correction Technique
4. Teaching Children How to Study Unknown Words- Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check is a routine that is included each week that teaches students how to study words
5. Spelling Games- Supplement, but not supplant explicit spelling instruction. Spelling games might include: Spelling Tic Tac Toe, Hangman, Scrabble, ________________
6. Word Sorting- is a way of practicing words and word patterns so that they may be automatically retrieved from memory…word sorting is a weekly option on the Speller’s Choice days
