Word Study




(  How to Spell words )







Mr. / Girgis








Word Study


How do you teach spelling words? Many teachers

teach spelling by giving students a list on Monday

and a test on Friday with practice in between. This

type of drill and practice has earned traditional

spelling instruction a reputation for being boring.



As soon as one spelling list is tested, another list

takes its place.  Now, there is an alternative to

traditional spelling instruction called "Word Study,"

which is not based on the random memorization of

words.  A word study program is a cohesive

 approach that addresses word recognition,

vocabulary, and phonics as well as spelling.



 



Traditional Methods of


 Teaching how to spell




Rote memorization is not an effective way to learn

and remember. How many kids forget their spelling

 words as soon as they finish the test?


With traditional spelling instruction, kids are passive

 learners. Spelling is boring – for both the students

 and the teacher!


Children move through the stages of spelling

development at a different pace.


 Just a handful of kids’ needs are met when the

entire class has the same word list!



Advanced strategy to teach

spelling:


The advanced method to teach spelling is the

 Word study method.


 



What is word study?



Word study provides students with opportunities

 to investigate and understand the patterns in

words.  Knowledge of these patterns means that

students needn't learn to spell one word at a time.



1-In the first or early treatment sessions, make sure

the student has a secure understanding of sound-

symbol correspondence and letter name knowledge.



2-Dividing words into syllables can help students

identify spelling patterns at the morphological level.



3-Do not teach too many spelling patterns within a

lesson. For example, you might decide to contrast

–tion versus –sion in a lesson. This will require

 acute attention to the verbal production of “shun”

(-tion) as in “production” versus “zhun” (-sion) as in

“lesion.”



 



4-Make learning spelling fun with using cards,


games, activities.


5-List the most commonly misspelled words to be

studied and practiced .


6-Learning spelling through using affixes, suffixed

and prefixed.


7-Teach the long words spelling through showing

 the words roots or origins.


8-Teach words that don't conform to regular patterns.


9-Seeing the word in print also helps one use

Spellcheck.


10-Teach spelling through homophones and silent

letters.

11-Spelling Word Memory: Create a double set

 of word cards and play a game of Spelling Word

Memory by spreading out the cards face down and

 then taking turns flipping two cards at a time to

 find a pair!



12-Flip 4 Steps: In just 4 steps, your child can

practice reading, spelling, and writing his words. 

Have him flip over a word card, look at the word,

say it out loud, say the letters, then flip it back over,

 and write the word on paper.



13-Trace, copy, recall: Fold three columns on a

piece of paper, and label one column ‘trace’, the

next ‘copy’ and the last ‘recall’.  Write the word in

the first column, and have your child trace the

letters.


 Next have her copy the word by looking at what

she’s just written.  Have her fold (and hide) the first

two columns and recall the spelling as she writes

the word independently.


 



14-Spelling Word Race: Create two teams, with a player from each team taking the ‘pen’ at a time.  Teacher calls out a word from the list, and players race to write the word.



15-Spelling Puzzle: Make a home-made puzzle by writing each word in large letters on an index card and then having the child cut each card apart. The fun is in putting the puzzle back together!



16-Stairsteps: Write words as if they are stairs, adding one letter at a time.



17-Window writing: All you need is special wind0w-safe crayons to use, and Window-Writing makes learning spelling words totally crazy and so much fun!  Example:  ( S  -SP  -SPE-  SPEL-  SPELL).



18-WORDO: Kind of like Bingo but with letters, words, or numbers! (Or just stick with — but doesn’t WORDO! sound more fun?)


19-Water Paint: Use water and a paintbrush to water paint the
spelling words.  On a hot, sunny day, words disappear quickly, so spellers move fast!


 




Teaching a Word Study Program – Proud to be Primary
 



20-With a computer and fun electronics:

Type it Out: Open up a Word document and have your child type the spelling words on the screen as you call them out.  Enlarge the font, make it a cool color, and he’ll have a ball.



Spell on Tape: Have your child spell the words into a tape recorder or using the voice recorder on your phone or computer.



Video Record: Pull out the video camera or flip cam and take a video of your child spelling the words.  Have him put on a funny hat, dress-up, or use a silly prop to add to the fun.



Use puzzle maker: Have your child type in all of the week’s spelling words and then let her search for them using this cool resource from Discovery!



Use "Let them sing it": Type in a spelling word on this site, and the word is sung back to your student.


 



Teacher Tip: Organizing for Phonics, Spelling, and Word Study Lessons
 




21-With space to run, jump, and play:


Chalkboard Race: Form two teams, with one player from each team holding a piece of chalk and standing at a designated spot about 10 feet from a chalkboard. Teacher calls out a word, and players run to the board and write the word correctly as quickly as possible. The winner finishes the word first and spells it correctly.


Ball Toss: Players stand in a circle with a Nerf ball or something else safe to toss. Teacher calls out a word, tosses the ball to a student, and that student spells the word.


If the word isn’t spelled correctly, the student tosses the ballto another person who will try to spell it  if it is spelled correctly, the player tosses object to another student and teacher gives her a new word to spell.


Swing and Spell: Teacher gives the student a word to spell, and the student says a letter of the word with each back and forth movement of the swing, much like you can do when teaching syllables.


 



22-With anything and everything else:


Spelling Word Hunt: Look for those spelling list words in the newspaper or in another book, magazine, or text! Circle them or use a highlighter to highlight them.


Scrabble, Boggle: Use these cool game pieces to ‘build’ spelling words on the on a cookie tray, on the table, or on the floor.


Crazy Words: : Put something ‘crazy’ (like jell-o mix, shaving cream, sand, or rice) on a cookie sheet, and have your child use his finger to ‘write’ spelling words on the tray.


Paint Bag Writing: Put poster paint in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag and seal it tightly! Then have your child use her fingertip to write the letters of each word on the paint bag.


Stamp it: Use alphabet letter stamps to ‘stamp’ the spelling words first by looking at the words and then on your own!
 


23-With magnetic letters or letter cards:


Word Scramble: Scramble up the letters of each word and have student put them in the correct order.  (Don’t forget to point out patterns and families!)


Word Train: Have your child create a ‘word train’ by using the last letter of the first word to begin the second word : cat / tap / pan.



 



24-No prep, no materials:



Spell and Eat: While making breakfast, lunch, or dinner, have your child spell a word, and after each word is spelled correctly, reward her with a small, healthy “treat” from your meal prep.



Examine the Word: Really look at the words, talk about the tough parts and analyze patterns.  Make up silly ways of remembering the ‘tough’ parts: ‘president’ has an ‘I’ in the middle because one day I’ll be president.



Effective Word Study Strategies to Help with Spelling


 



25-You can use fun spelling games — cards to cut into a Spelling Fun Box for days when you’re stuck, bored, in a rut,or want to leave that day’s spelling excitement up to a little at-home lottery.
