Spellography Teacher Lesson Book A
Details
Spellography teaches spelling concepts explicitly, systematically, cumulatively, and enjoyably! A perfect complement to your current reading and language arts program, Spellography was designed to help all students make sense of the English spelling system and become better at understanding, reading, and writing words.
Using a structured language approach, students will learn:
- Phoneme awareness and syllable stress patterns (phonology)
- Sound-spelling associations (phone-grapheme correspondence)
- Syllable spelling patterns and combinations
- Prefix, root, and suffix constructions (morphology)
- Sentence structure (syntax)
- Parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs)
- Idioms, figures of speech, and more
The Spellography curriculum is divided into four books, A-D. Each book takes roughly half of a school year to complete. You are currently viewing Book A, which includes Units 1-6.
In Spellography Book A, students learn the layer-cake structure of the English Language as a backbone for all the following lessons. Book A contains mostly Old English base words. Students focus on developing closed syllable and consonant spellings skills including initial and final blends, digraphs (ck, ng) and trigraphs (dge), hard/ soft c and g, and the doubling rule and -ed and plural suffixes.
