Teaching Spelling James Clements

Outcomes for the session Develop key professional knowledge about the English spelling system Provide effective practical approaches to teaching spelling Reflect on your school’s current provision for teaching spelling

An introduction to spelling WATCH: Introduction to Teaching Spelling Note: you can find this film in Training Toolkit: Teaching Spelling.

Spelling in the National Curriculum 2014 A great deal of emphasis on correct spelling A mixture of statutory and non-statutory word lists for different year groups Spelling is assessed in Year 2 and Year 6 Strong spelling is also a significant aspect of writing

Spelling in the Curriculum for Wales By the end of Year 2, learners are expected to: use spelling strategies such as segmenting, simple roots and suffixes, e.g. ing, ed use knowledge of syllables to spell polysyllabic words use a dictionary spell high-frequency words correctly By the end of Year 6, learners are expected to: use strategies to spell correctly polysyllabic, complex and irregular words

Curriculum for Excellence Spelling in the Curriculum for Excellence Expectations at Early level I explore sounds, letters and words, discovering how they work together, and I can use what I learn to help me as I read or write. Expectations at First level I can spell the most commonly-used words, using my knowledge of letter patterns and spelling rules and use resources to help me spell tricky or unfamiliar words. Expectations at Second level I can spell most of the words I need to communicate, using spelling rules, specialist vocabulary, self-correction techniques and a range of resources.

Northern Ireland Curriculum Spelling in the Northern Ireland Curriculum At key stage 1 Children "should be encouraged to develop as independent writers, learning over time to use conventional spelling, punctuation, grammatical organisation and handwriting that is legible". Between key stages 1 and 2 Pupils should progress "from beginning to write in sentences to showing increasing proficiency in the use of syntax, spelling and punctuation".

Reflection Task Working with a partner or in a small group, discuss: How do children approach spelling in your class? For example, do they: ‘have a go’ at spelling unfamiliar words? make use of dictionaries? use their phonic knowledge? make links to other words that they know?

What we know about English spelling Criticism of English spelling focuses on its apparent inconsistent sound-spelling relationships. However, English spelling is much more regular and systematic than is often realised. As we saw from the Introduction to Teaching Spelling video, teaching English spelling can be tricky, but there are some key concepts that can help children to become confident at spelling.

English spelling in three minutes WATCH:Making Sense of Spelling Note: you can find this film in Training Toolkit: Teaching Spelling.

Important Concepts for Understanding Spelling These concepts are important for understanding English spelling, and for teaching and learning: Phonics: sounds and the letters that represent them Orthography: the coding system of English Morphology: the structure and meaning of words Etymology: history and origin of words

Extension task Watch the short films to find out more about phonics, orthography, morphology and etymology. Note: you can find these films in Training Toolkit: Teaching Spelling. Phonics: Spelling and Sounds Orthography: Making Sense of the System Morphology: Using Meaning to Unlock Spelling Etymology: Where Words Began

Putting the concepts into practice In pairs or small groups, look at the words below: Medicine Playwright Beautiful Handkerchief Why might children find them tricky? Which of the concepts we’ve looked at would be useful in explaining how these words are spelled?

Reflection Task Working with a partner or in a small group, discuss: How might these concepts be useful when improving the teaching of spelling in your class? How might they affect the way you approach teaching spelling at your school?

Effective approaches to teaching spelling WATCH: Teaching Spelling in Practice Note: you can find this film in Training Toolkit: Teaching Spelling.

Reflection Task Working with a partner or in a small group, discuss: What do you think are the key approaches to teaching spelling that have proved successful at Fox School? How might these strategies work in your own school? Which approaches might you need to adapt to your own situation?

Planning Task Working with a partner: Working as a group: Read and discuss the handout A Week of Teaching Spelling, summarising the key approaches to organising spelling provision used by the teacher. Working as a group: Discuss three or four things you could do collectively to develop the teaching of spelling at your school, drawing on ideas from A Week of Teaching Spelling and Teaching Spelling in Practice.
