Spellography Teacher Lesson Book B
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 B, which includes Units 7-12.
In Spellography Book B, students explore the drop e rule and y-rule for endings and gradually learn Latin word form. They seamlessly continue their study of consonant spellings with spellings for /ch/ in Unit 7. Students learn vowel-r spellings in Unit 8 and then proceed to a review of previously covered consonant spellings in Unit 9. In Unit 10, students continue to explore vowel spellings, with the vowel chart and the remaining syllable types. Students study open syllables in Unit 11 and progress to VCe spellings in Unit 12.
