Foreword

New wave spelling — A phonics-based approach is a seven book spelling workbook series providing students with a solid framework for becoming independent spellers. Book A is a comprehensive whole-year program consisting of two sections. The first section focuses on initial, medial and final sounds, while the second section comprises 15 units of work, with a similar format to Workbooks B to G. The spelling lists within each unit are organised with a phonetic emphasis. Words have been selected from proven contemporary Australian lists and are words to which students can relate and use in their writing.

The focus at the beginning of each unit encourages students to identify the key features, patterns, rules, similarities and differences of the list words, as well as the phonemes (sounds) within words and the different ways they are represented (graphemes). The variety of activities based on each word list provide students with opportunities to use different strategies and consolidate their understanding of the particular focus.

How to use the workbook

Phonics charts: Writing consonant sounds and Writing vowel sounds Coloured reference charts with a number of graphemes, used to represent vowel and consonant sounds, are included at the front and back of each student workbook. Suggestions for using the charts are: • Locate and point to particular sound boxes. (This is essential if students are to use the charts effectively.)

For example: — Find the sound box for the initial sound in your name, school, suburb, friend’s name, pet etc.

— Find the sound box after or before a particular sound.

— Count the graphemes in particular sound boxes; e.g. long e (three) • Solve silly grapheme puzzles; e.g. mm-ee-u (Mia) • Create silly grapheme puzzles to name animals, colours, fruit, vegetables; e.g. dd-o-gg (dog) • Draw a picture for each sound in his or her name; e.g.

The first section of the workbook presents the students with opportunities to identify sounds in words and to print the letters.

They can be guided through these activities once they are familiar with letter sounds and names and have had opportunities to practise writing the letters. Beginning sounds are introduced first, followed by final and then medial sounds. The activities require students to exercise both auditory and visual discrimination in readiness for introducing simple spelling strategies.

Success with these preliminary activities will indicate a student’s readiness for the more formal units that follow.

How to use the workbook

The second section of the student workbook has 15 units of work, each comprising of four pages. The units contain a list of 5 to 10 words to be learned. The difficulty of the list words and the types of activities increases through the units. Refer to pages 8 and 9 for an overview of list words and page 10 for an overview of each unit focus and activity types.

Unit number and focus

Students follow the instructions to identify the focus of the list.

It encourages the students to look for patterns, similarities and differences within the list and identify ways to remember how to spell each word.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Students should follow these steps when learning each word. It is a well-tested and effective method of remembering how to spell words.

Look at the word – Look for how the focus sound is spelt. Look for words within words and the shape of the word.

Say the word – Sound out the word phonetically. Break the word into syllables if appropriate.

Trace the word – This can be done with a finger or pencil in the air, on the page, on a partner’s back etc.

Cover each word – A time factor can be built into this part.

Write the word – Space has been given for two tries over the course of the unit.

Check the word with the original.

Note: A poster outlining these steps is provided on page 50.

Students tick the T (Test) column if they spelt the word correctly in their test. They tick the D (Dictation) column if they spelt the word correctly in dictation. If the word was not used in dictation, they leave it blank. See pages 13–27 of this book for suggested dictation sentences using list words.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

The first page of each unit contains the list words. Units 1–8 are cvc words with short medial vowel sounds. Units 9–15 are grouped according to the way phonemes (sounds) are represented (graphemes), blends or difficult words.

Note: Some teachers may decide to pre-test the list words.

Note: Students write any list words, words from dictation, word building based on the list words (see pages 13–27) or any other words that are causing them difficulty on pages 82 and 83 of their workbook. Suggested activities for learning these words can be found on pages 28–33 of this book.

o c . che e r o t r s super

The activities on the second, third and fourth pages of each unit are designed to provide students with many opportunities to complete or write the list words. A variety of word study and word building activities extend and develop students’ knowledge and understanding.

Examples include: • matching words and pictures • unjumbling words • identifying features of words • guessing words by their shape • filling in missing letters or sounds • word ‘chunking’ • fill the gap activities • read and draw activities • completing sentences with list words • identifying rhyming words R.I.C.

Using the spelling strategy cards

The following spelling strategies are based on the metacognitive approach. This approach teaches students how to think about their thinking in a logical structured way, in order to become more successful independent spellers.

A set of photocopiable cards, provided on pages 44–49, encourages students to reflect about their learning.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

It is essential that students know the meaning of the word and can use it in context.

A common reason for spelling errors is incorrect pronunciation, particularly the final sound.

For example: hat (had) wif (with)

Using the spelling strategy cards

Students need to identify letters within words that may cause them difficulty.

Students should be encouraged to learn spelling tricks (e.g. mnemonics) and to make up some of their own.

Assessment suggestions

There are many different ways to assess and record spelling. Below are some suggestions for assessment and recording to help support the New wave spelling workbook program.

• Teachers may decide to pre-test the list and/or revision words. The results can be used as a benchmark for how well the

students learn the list or which words they need to focus on throughout the two-week program. Errors can be transferred directly to the Words I need to learn section. A disadvantage of pre-testing is that poor spellers could possibly have many errors, which would affect their self-esteem. Although the activities provided would benefit all students, good spellers with no errors may not be motivated to work on the unit.

• Teachers may decide to incorporate partner testing of a selected amount of words each day, with results recorded

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

formally or informally and errors transferred to Words I need to learn.

• Teachers may post test the list and revision words at the conclusion of the two-week program to evaluate the students’

progress. Again, errors are recorded and transferred.

Photocopiable recording sheets are outlined below.

Individual spelling records can be kept. (See page 52.) The BLM can be used to record pre-test, partner test and final revision and list word test scores, along with anecdotal notes. These notes can become an overview of the student’s progress in spelling over the 15 units and can be discussed during parent/teacher conferences and in reports.

Identifying beginning sounds is very important. Students need to practise listening to the word, identifying the initial sound and remembering how to write it. Pronouncing the word correctly is very important.

Identifying final sounds is more difficult than initial sounds, often because the word is not pronounced correctly. In general speech, we tend to speak quickly and we don’t usually emphasise the final sound.

Some activities to assist students to complete each activity page include:

For example, the teacher calls out a word beginning with s, t or b to tie in with page 2 of the workbook. Students hold up the red or green side accordingly. This could also be done by holding up a picture. The word could be said as a whole group or left to individual students to pronounce it before they make their decision.
