Spelling Skill Builders

Spelling is more than just memorizing lists of words.  One of the most effective ways for students to understand and spell vocabulary is to experience multiple, meaningful exposure to words. Students begin with an assessment that is used to measure their developmental stage. Based on students’ assessments, individualized word lists will be created, and students will work them in a variety of ways including games and spelling bees!  Specific skills addressed will be spelling rules and generalizations, sight words, consonant blends, soft c and g, syllabication and syllable types, affixes and roots, digraphs, diphthongs, homonyms, silent letters, possessives and contractions.

This course provides support for spellers hoping to participate in the Scripps Spelling Bee, and this course is also available as a 10 hour/ 2 day intensive.

Spelling Skill Builders is being taught by a teacher who has been teaching with a focus on ways of maximizing student engagement and learning for over 10 years.
