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 ................................................ iii 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.

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 child spells the word correctly in their test, a tick should be placed in the T column. A tick should be placed in the D column if the child spells the word correctly in their dictation. Problem words can be recorded in the Difficult Words I Have Found table on page 74, for additional learning.

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.

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.

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 3975 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.

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 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?

no
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?

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

ew

in g

Sa m

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.

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.

Vi

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

For example: butter + fly; foot + ball

For example: What can burn us, but also gives us warmth? (fire)

For example: Add basket to ball = basketball. Take er from mother = moth.

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) to assist spelling, rather than conventional syllables.

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

in g

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
a t

Break each spelling list into shorter lists based on similar spelling patterns.

Write the list words, leaving out some letters. Complete the words the next day.

= chimney

Find words that rhyme with the list words. Underline them if they are spelt the same.

For example: goat note, boat, wrote, float

Prepare a cloze passage, deleting list words. Children select the correct word to go in the correct space.

For example: dinosaurs and plants might fit into: Many ate .

Use sentence frames to develop a spelling vocabulary of list words.

For example: We took plates to the picnic. We took sandwiches to the picnic.

Children with Special Needs


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.

Sa m
For example:

For example: foot matches with ball; tele matches with phone; govern matches with ment

Decorate or illustrate list words.

ew

in g
Write list words using string or pipe cleaners.

Vi

Children can draw pictures and ask other children to guess which word they have drawn; or simply make words into patterns. Children can make each letter, or just the word shape.

Use magnetic letters to form words from memory on a board.

pl e
l e t
, c

s n a k e a c h

Write list words in sand or salt.

Children could also trace words on a desk or sandpaper. Discussing whether word shapes are tall or small could follow. For example, using the word are:

Use list words to build other words.

b
Make simple designs using the list words written end to end.

nt

Use shapes like circles, triangles and spirals.

1. Sorry, Miss, I slept in. Well I didnt think that you had slept out! she shouted. This was followed by a severe punishment of a 500 word essay on the industrial revolution. Meanwhile she would not accept another excuse for my tardiness as it has been a continuous disruption to the class. I thought that she was going to explode with anger, but I did persuade her that I wouldnt be late again, as my mum is going to provide me with an alarm clock. 2. A lot of the rock face had started to erode and this was hampering our climb, so we decided to reduce the load we were carrying and organise a different route. This decision will provoke the others as it is a harder ascent to negotiate and we will have to postpone it until tomorrow. 3. Come to the buffet and consume all you can. Appreciate good food, be you woman or man. Excite your taste buds and drink some wine, combine all the flavours while you sit and dine. It wont cost a fortune to eat so much food and there is an envelope for a tip if you think it was good. The magician at the tables is not there to confuse, he will persevere with his tricks just to amuse.

This unit focuses on the prefixes im, mis, and in. This unit also includes two common, high frequency words, consequence and development.

teaching Points
Discuss the meaning of each prefix. Identify the base word for each list word. Identify any smaller words that make up each word. Sort the list words according to the prefixes and brainstorm to add to each list.

Rules
When adding a suffix beginning with a vowel to most words ending with e, the e is dropped before adding the suffix. (The e is retained in balanceable to keep the soft c sound.) Note: The word immoveable with the e retained, generally, has a meaning related to law. To make the plural of words ending with y after a consonant, change the y to i and add es. When adding y to words ending with le, change the e to y.

1. The development of the new estate was to incorporate ten independent villas, but they stood incomplete for a year as the foundations were inadequate to support them. As a consequence they subsided, so it was an expensive misfortune for the builders, as they had to demolish them. 2. Her behaviour was intolerable. She was so impolite and rude that she frequently had to suffer the indignity of standing immobile with her back to the class due to her immature nature, which led to her nickname little Miss Imperfect. 3. The accountant was getting very impatient with the imbalance in the accounts. After two days he discovered that the director did misunderstand that he had to include the invisible earnings and indirect payments, as it was these omissions that had made them incorrect.

1. I would like to be a pharmacist who gives out pills, rather than a dentist who only drills and fills. Or maybe a mountaineer who climbs loads of hills or making clothes from material down at the mills. No, I want to be a scientist who finds a cure for all ills. 2. The huge hotel on Bond Street was so cosmopolitan. I met Marco, an Italian, who was a cameraman, and the official photographer of the Vatican. The manager was Irish and called OCallaghan; he ran the hotel like a politician. The Scottish driver who drove the minivan always wore a kilt with a tartan sporran. The lady was Australian who was an equestrian, but she smelt of horses and so did her cardigan. Dan, the engineer, who had married the librarian, then had a baby who looked like an alien. Peter, the auctioneer, always with an action plan; hed sell anything, even an empty coke can. There was a Portuguese builder who looked like Tarzan, who hated the Vietnamese cook as he was a comedian, so in the Japanese garden he hit him with a pan. If you wanted to get the job as a doorman, the assessment would be done by an Argentinian. The pianist in the bar, who called herself Joanne, couldnt speak English so sang in Iranian. The jeweller from India always wore a kaftan, and tried to sell me a silver taipan.

1. The wheel is probably the most important mechanical invention of all time and during the industrial revolution the basic principle of rotation was used in most new machinery. 2. Due to the increasing extinction of many animals, along with the shortage of food, our team has built a huge conservation village. It has its own irrigation system for fresh water for the crops growing next to the vast expansion of land, fenced off for the animals whose adaptation to the new environment has been very successful. 3. There was a late evening session of parliament so our local politician was not at home when his mansion caught fire. It turned out to be the fault of the electrician who then made a confession that he had used the wrong cables when re-wiring the house. 4. Despite the pressure of working long hours she was happy being a physician as she had always dreamed of a profession in medicine. As she showed great compassion and affection for her patients she was respected by everyone. 5. We had gone out to practise climbing with our new equipment when I happened to slip down and got my foot stuck in a fissure in the rock surface. Luckily I only had superficial damage to the skin on my ankle.

1. It was a decade ago, but I will never forget the day I spent at the activity centre where I got to ride a bicycle through a swimming pool, sat in a tank of water wearing only a bikini beside an octopus, walked a tightrope in the quadrangle area outside and used the remote control making the six legs of the hexapod robot move. At the end of it all, I filled in the questionnaire and rated it highly. 2. We watched the womens heptathlon on the television and the athlete who won the pentathlon last October had the biggest biceps I had ever seen. 3. If you add up the sides of a pentagon and a triangle you will get the same number of sides in an octagon, and, if you double the sides in a quadrilateral, you will get the same answer. If you then add one you will get the number of sides in a nonagon; add another one and you get the number of sides in a decagon. 4. My sisters are trilingual but I only speak two languages so I am bilingual. But being a triplet I am going to study Italian at the start of September as I like to do things in threes, and the only alcohol I like is wine from Italy red, white or rose!

1. We had only been airborne for three minutes, and I could still see the airstrip down below, when the aeroplane turned back as the only toilet was not working. An airline pilot always has to prioritise to put the safety and comfort of the passengers first and he admitted that if he had only been carrying airmail he would not have turned back. 2. The artist began to paint the superhuman figure on the outside wall of the nursery but as he was using an airbrush a strong wind made the aerosol spray blow back all over him. He finished it because we put up a tarpaulin around him to make the area more airtight. Then, when it was a childs birthday, we would superimpose a photograph of the childs head onto Spidermans body. 3. The two reasons for cancelling the aerobatics show were that there was a potential hazard for the pilots due to the strong winds around the aerodrome, and they had to be deployed to airlift the needed food supplies to the war zone. Flying through enemy airspace with these supplies was a great risk. 4. After leaving the aerobics class I reversed my car right over a superintendents foot sticking out too far; his wound was superficial so he wasnt too mad, but as he fell over he broke my aerial which made me sad. A wire coat hanger could supersede it, said my dad. Instead he got me a new one which made me glad, as its the superior one Ive never had.

2. There was great confusion in their class as they were told that the topic for a debate was Youth in Asia. Then they laughed when they saw it written down as it was euthanasia! 3. If there was ever an occasion that a leak occurred at the nuclear power station then everyone has to be evacuated immediately, with the exclusion of three people who have to stay behind to make any decision on preventing an explosion. It is always hard to reach a conclusion as to which three people. 4. The high cliffs along the shore are suffering from erosion from the force of the waves, and so this constant abrasion has forced a huge area of seclusion to anyone walking along the top. 5. As it was a brilliant sunny day with a bright azure sky, the police assumed that the drivers eyes had been dazzled by the sun, but it turned out that the collision happened as he had taken a seizure. He then lost control, thus crossing the central division of the road into the path of the bus driver, who had to have a blood transfusion at the hospital.

1. The design of the vehicle was amazing and if I had sufficient money I would have bought one, but, without my knowledge, dad had already ordered one for me when I was in hospital suffering from pneumonia. 2. The fencing club gave me the honour of baking the raspberry sponge cake with an almond topping in the shape of a sword, but it was a disaster. The heater in the oven was not efficient enough, so the cake turned out flat. 3. We pulled the rope from the dinghy and tied it around a large gnarl in a tree to try and have a couple hours of sleep but a wild dog woke us up and it started to growl and gnash its teeth. We were doubtful we would escape but luckily a rhinoceros came charging towards it and it ran off. 4. Honesty is the best policy so I admitted that I was guilty as I did malign the music teacher in church, while the final hymn was being sung. Even though I had tried to whisper she heard me, so it was a solemn moment when I was suspended from school.

1. He studies horticulture and is a perfect candidate for he loves being outdoors, learning to cultivate the flowers, plants and vegetables which he watches germinate along with all his cuttings, hoping they would propagate. He uses the best fertilizer which he has to accumulate. But with too much sunshine an awful smell would circulate. However his luxurious flowers do flourish at a great rate, the foliage in his plants is so green and delicate and his bountiful supplies of vegetables are more than adequate to make him pass his exams and become a graduate, so today I sent him a bouquet of flowers to help him celebrate. 2. I am studying ecology and at present we are finding out how an insect, plant or any organism can affect the whole ecosystem in any environment. 3. The nursery in our village had to close due to a lack of children. As agriculture is the only source of work many people have had to migrate to a town, as survival is more important than the sacrifice they make moving away from their roots. 4. Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross at his crucifixion and that he rose from the dead at his resurrection.

1. There was danger ahead, and I dont exaggerate, as I thought that in winter bears just hibernate, but there it stood, in solitude, and my heart did palpitate. Its appetite for humans made my proximity unfortunate. I tried to use some persuasion to make it cooperate, and though I am only a juvenile I did anticipate that if I tried to apologise it might appreciate that physical abuse of a human is against the law of the state! So I told the bear the concrete facts so we could negotiate and what did this talk produce? A three metre grizzly standing tall, who started to salivate.

1. The robbery at the gallery has created a lot of intrigue in the press as the rogue had dressed up as a ghoul for his disguise when he broke in. He was certainly not an amateur thief as he had stolen three paintings worth a million dollars. 2. The two brothers were brought up in the ghetto and joined a guerilla group which regularly took part in warfare. The younger one had more guile and intelligence and gave a lot of support and guidance to his elder brother but, in the end, was shot by him in a ghastly feud over his decision to leave the group and play football, as he wanted his local team to win the league. 3. I love to use the mini guillotine we just ordered from the catalogue as it can chop up an onion, a gherkin or a carrot in seconds. 4. I was guarantor for my colleagues business but after a plague of locusts had wiped out his vegetation imports it left him bankrupt. Consequently he suffered from stress and fatigue which left him unable to work.

1. I am not confident and I am very shy, so I will tell you about an incident but I dont know why. It happened on my way to meet an important and intelligent guy. It was the president of France who lived in Versailles. The weather was pleasant which was good as I had to fly, to a distant place so I left and said goodbye. Sitting next to me on the plane as it soared towards the sky, was an arrogant soldier who only had one eye, but who was constant in his criticism of my yellow tie. I just remained silent apart from one big sigh, but tolerant no more was I, so by accident and from way up high, I dropped on the opponent a juicy meat pie. He went to another seat as he began to cry, which left a vacant seat so I could have a lie! 2.

Dictation

When adding a suffix beginning with a vowel to most words ending with e, the e is dropped before adding the suffix. (The e is retained in pronounceable to keep the soft c sound.) To make the plural of words ending with y after a consonant, change the y to i and add es.

1. My valentine gave me a cuddly teddy bear and wrote on a poster, with a red biro pen, the words I love you. 2. We were learning how to send messages using Morse code and how to read using Braille. Then we had a great picnic in the field, eating marmalade sandwiches and pavlova cake filled with pasteurised cream. Suddenly I screamed so loud as I looked down at my cardigan and saw a spider. I have an arachnid phobia and I was terrified. I jumped three feet in the air as if 100 volts of electricity had hit me. 3. A psychologist likes to do an analysis test. A hooligan is nothing but a pest. At 100 degree Celsius water boils the best. A maverick politician is always full of zest. A python in your home is not an invited guest. A tattoo is permanent so dont get one on your chest, especially if you wear a leotard or a string vest. 4. The English teacher loves words and taught us a spoonerismI have hissed the mystery lessonand then said Put on these shoes, diesel fit you and when Jean came in she shouted Hygiene.

1. Once we had entered the lines of latitude and longitude into the satellite navigation system of the catamaran we quickly found the quickest route and soon we had rescued the casualty from the water. He had lost his grip of the rope while abseiling down the sea cliffs, while on an adventure tourism holiday. 2. As we were travelling intercontinental, including passing through the equator, we had to have many inoculation injections for our protection, and even had to carry insect repellent. In one continent they gave us knives for security against poisonous snakes. 3. Once we had learnt the technique of opening the parachute we could take our first jump from a helicopter, but I could not pick up the strategy for learning how to go paragliding, so I just went off to the local amusements park and won a souvenir at a stall.
