Contents ForewordPhonics 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 InformationEach 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.
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.
in g
Sa m
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.
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.

Teacher InformationEach 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.

Spelling TimetableTeachers can use the activities in My Spelling Workbook to suit the needs of their class and the amount of time available for spelling. A 10-day spelling programme for each list is suggested below, as a way of using this workbook. It allows for 25 minutes each day, which could be a combination of class work and homework. Teachers may wish to add or delete from this timetable, according to their needs. This timetable is based on a metacognitive approach, which is explained in detail on the following pages. Daily partner testing is a key feature of the timetable, allowing children to practise 35 list words at a time. A worksheet for recording partner test results is provided on page 15.

Metacognitive ApproachAim: 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 TypesClarifying questions are questions that make words, phrases or concepts clear and understandable. For example: What is the word?
yesterdayWhat 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?
terIs there a rule for this word?
noInferential 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, dayPersonal questions are questions that are relevant to oneself. For example: Is there a rhythm in the word?
yesIs there a familiar sound in this word?
ayIs this a word that I need to learn to spell?
yes, because I use this word regularly4My Spelling Workbook F Teachers GuidePrim-Ed Publishingwww.prim-ed.com
Vi
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 ApproachVisualising 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/noCan 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/noCan 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 ruleCan 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/unhappyWere my choices of strategies effective?
yes/noWill learning how to spell this word help me to spell other words?
yes/noWas 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/unhappyThe 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.

Children with Special NeedsThe 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 DifficultiesStrategy 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 mc 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 ea t
Break each spelling list into shorter lists based on similar spelling patterns.
c
h
Write the list words, leaving out some letters. Complete the words the next day.
m
e
= 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 NeedsStrategies For Children With Learning DifficultiesStrategy 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 mFor 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 el e t, c

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.

1. He was on the donor list for a heart transplant and today he received a telephone call to say they had a heart, so a transfer was arranged to the Royal hospital for his surgery. 2. During the war my granddad needed a reference from the automobile company he worked for, so they had to transmit a telegraph, in order that he could fulfil his dream. He wanted to drive army tanks, and be in charge of the transit of the soldiers and the transport of the automatic weapons. 3. The autopsy report said he died from the poison from the snake bite as there was no antidote to cure him. No antibiotic nor antiseptic had worked so the venom had caused the infection which killed him. 4. Reading the teletext service on the television we found out that Mystic Michael would be signing his autograph on his new autobiography. He claims he has the gift of telepathy as he can read minds, but his hobby is star-gazing through his giant telescope. 5. The machinery in the biscuit factory works on automation but one day there was a mechanical fault and it all went anticlockwise, so the wrappers ended up in the centre of the biscuits.

1. Being taught every day for two months, and having three parts to play, did exhaust my daughter and I. I had lots of laundry to wash each night, but we had to applaud the effort and hard work with the success of the play. 2. I approached, with caution, as the two naughty ghosts fought with each other. To try and stop them I shouted loudly with a voice of authority but suddenly I woke up. So dont read The haunted castle by the author Jill Duffy before falling asleep, and just count sheep from nought to 50 instead. 3. The rocket launch had taken five years of preparation so it was a cause of concern when, with only one week to go, the astronaut caught the flu. 4. I had accidentally broken my brothers toy dinosaur. Mum thought that I ought to buy him another, so on Saturday, I sought a similar one from a toy shop and he was happy.

singular and Plural nounsUnit Focus This unit focuses on words that are both singular and plural nouns. This unit also includes two common, high frequency words, carry and surprised.
teaching Points Revise what is meant by singular and plural nouns and give examples of each. Discuss how the list words remain the same whether they are singular or plural. Identify any difficult parts of words. Brainstorm to list other singular and plural nouns.
Rules The y at the end of base words changes to i when a suffix is added. To make the plural of words ending with a y after a consonant, change the y to i and add es. The y is retained when adding ing to avoid ii being written. (Two exceptions are taxiing and skiing.) When adding a suffix beginning with a vowel to most words ending with e, the e is dropped before adding the suffix.

1. There was a series of accidents in our house this week, starting with Mum, who burnt her ear while using the curling tongs. Dad cut through the telephone cable while cutting the hedge with the garden shears, Tom twisted his ankle when he was doing athletics, Bob sat down on top of his spectacles, I cut my hand with scissors while opening a parcel and Sandy had to get tweezers to extract a splinter from her hand. 2. I was not surprised that we hadnt caught any fish so we just went for a swim in the river. As I was wearing goggles I could see plenty of trout and salmon, and lots of different species of frogs. Next time we will carry the right bait to catch them and a set of scales to weigh our catch. 3. At 5 a.m. there was a loud howling noise and, looking through the binoculars, I could see a deer or a moose in a field with its leg caught in the fence. I quickly pulled on a pair of trousers over my pyjamas and ran out with the pliers so I could cut the wire and set it free. 4. The cricket team was about to bat for their second innings when the batsman had to stop. He had lost concentration due to the loud noise of the low flying aircraft overhead.

1. I got the most extreme punishment exercise for spraying perfume in class. I had to translate five pages of Latin into English and describe the costume worn by a Roman emperor. 2. THE EGOIST I had to indicate that I was keen but parties just arent my scene. I walk in the room and hesitate, I hate that I have to circulate. I scan the people who are there Then decide to sit in an empty chair and all the time I want to delete any awful people I have to meet. Its very hard to be sweet and polite when you really want them out of sight. I often feign an illness or choke just to get away from boring folk and once I just stood still and froze and moved only once to scratch my nose. Id like to be an umpire or referee and send them off as I only want me. 3. Due to his injury he had to demote Tom, whose job now was to decode the Morse signals into accurate words, so his major could draw up a schedule of events for the soldiers to follow. In this way they could arrive safely and find refuge in the war zone.

Dictation1. We have an exciting seasonal ceremony in our house every Christmas when, once we have returned from the pantomime and are all seated around the fireplace, eating roasted chestnuts and drinking hot cranberry juice, Dad switches on the lights on the artificial tree. We then hang up every bauble we can find and wrap up the presents using red ribbon. 2. My family love to make it a celebration and hand out to everyone an invitation but Ive always hated that particular day when I had to appear in the Nativity play. Ive been a wise man, a shepherd and a king and once they had a bad idea to make me sing. Without any fuss I smile and act merry while wishing I was back home in Derry. 3. We were watching the travel
