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. It is a comprehensive whole-year program of 20 units of work. 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

The student workbook has 20 units of work, each comprising of four pages. The units contain a list of twelve words to be learned and eight revision words taken from the previous workbook. Units do not have to be completed in order. Refer to page 10 for an overview of each unit focus and activity types. Unit number and focus

The first page of each unit contains the list words. The majority of the lists are grouped according to the way phonemes (sounds) are represented (graphemes). Other groupings include difficult words, homophones, prefixes, suffixes, contractions and silent letters.

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

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 12–51 of this book for suggested dictation sentences, including list and revision words.

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

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.

Students write any list words, revision words, words from dictation or any other words that are causing them difficulty here. Selected words can be transferred to pages 82 and 83 of their workbook. Suggested activities for learning these words can be found on pages 52–63 of this book.

Note: A poster outlining these steps is provided on page 70 of this book.

The activities on the first and second 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.

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

Each unit features a selection of revision words from the previous workbook. Students are required to identify the focus of these words and complete activities to help them remember how to spell them. Many of the revision words have been included in the suggested dictation sentences for the unit. Teachers may wish to include the revision words in the final test of the unit. Results can be recorded on pages 72 and 73.

The fourth page of each unit features a crossword. It includes every list word and some revision words. Students can refer to the opposite page to choose from the list or revision words for crossword answers.

Teac he r

The third page of each unit features a word search for all the list words. The list of words next to each word search can also be used by students when completing the crossword on the fourth page of the unit.

The final activities of the unit generally have a word building focus. Practice is provided for students to build on and create a larger bank of words for their use and understanding. Dictionaries should be made available to help complete these activities. A word building template can be found on page 62 of this book. Word building examples for every list and revision word can be found on pages 12–51.

Explanations of spelling rules, along with examples and activities, are designed to teach students why words look the way they do, why they are spelt that way and exceptions to the rule.

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. – Find the sound box after or before a particular sound. – Count the graphemes in particular sound boxes; e.g. long i (five) • Solve silly grapheme puzzles; e.g. dge-a-ch (Jack) • Create silly grapheme puzzles to name animals, colours, fruit, vegetables; e.g. mb-u-n-k-ea (monkey) • Draw a picture for each sound in his or her name; e.g.

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 and structured way, in order to become more successful independent spellers. A set of photocopiable cards, provided on pages 64–69, encourages students to reflect upon their learning.

Meaning

• What does the word mean? • Can I use it in a sentence?

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

Identifying parts of a word can help students to understand it’s meaning. For example: aqua (water) aquarobics (exercises in water)

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• Do I know what parts of the word mean?

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. For example: docta (doctor) opent (opened)

Hearing

© R. I . C.P ubl i c at i o ns Identifying the sounds and syllables in words is an essential skill. For example: u identifying — t-ee-th •f orr evi ew p r psounds ose sonl y• identifying syllables — hap/pi/ness

• Can I pronounce the word correctly? • Can I break it into parts?

bus/y (Each syllable must have a vowel sound.)

• Is there a wrong, but helpful way to say it?

Seeing

m . u

w ww

. te

Using pronunciation tricks is a useful strategy. For example: wed-nes-day (Wednesday) of-ten (often)

o c . che e r o t r s super

Many students find it helpful to close their eyes and try to visualise the word and/or its shape. For example: (whistle)

• Can I see the word in my head? • What letters make the sounds? • Is it like another word?

New wave spelling – Teacher resource book – D

Identifying the grapheme used to represent a sound, and understanding that different choices are available, are essential. Students should be encouraged to locate the appropriate sound box on the vowel or consonant charts in their workbooks. For example: stair stare

R.I.C. Publications ®

Teacher information

Remembering

Although there are exceptions to most spelling rules, they are very helpful and students need to know them. For example: Double the consonant to keep the preceding vowel sound short.

• Is there a trick I can use?

Students should be encouraged to learn spelling tricks (e.g. mnemonics) and to make up some of their own. For example: Would old Uncle Larry die? (would)

Students need to identify letters within words that may cause them difficulty. For example: friend their

• Could I have used some other ways of learning?

m . u

Self-esteem is related to perceived success and it is important that students acknowledge their successes and are motivated to continue learning.

• How do I feel?

o c . che e r o t r s super

Applying

Students should understand the importance of applying their spelling knowledge in different contexts.

• Can I use the word in dictation? • Can I use the word in my writing? • Can I now spell other words with similar patterns?

R.I.C. Publications ®

www.ricpublications.com.au

Students’ writing should provide evidence of how well they have appllied the spelling strategies they have learned. Generalising knowledge gained is essential for students to become independent spellers.

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 for identifying which words they need to focus on throughout the two-week program. Errors can be transferred directly to the Word watch section. A disadvantage of pre-testing is that poor spellers could possibly have many errors, which may affect their self-esteem. Although the activities provided would benefit all students, those who are 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 formally

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

or informally and errors transferred to Word watch.

• 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.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Photocopiable recording sheets are outlined below.

Individual spelling records can be kept (see page 72). 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 20 units and can be discussed during parent/teacher conferences and in reports.

We drew the kangaroo shampooing its fur in the stream. I like to eat juicy fruit without bruises and drink fresh fruit juice. He needs more proof than just that clue to find out what is true. Take care not to sprain your ankle when you sprint down the street. You will need someone strong to scrape off the blue paint and scrub the dirty marks. Could you fetch another screw from the shed? I’m going to spray poison on the weeds in the garden.

We were certain the cinema had been there since the turn of the century. The centipede quickly went around the circumference of the cylinder. Use a blue pencil to stencil a circle on the front of the parcel. The clown is quite funny and can cycle on a bike while squirting water at everyone. Please be quiet and don’t squeal, as you could wake the baby. How many sides does a square have? We were told to sit still and not squirm in our seats. The questions in the maths test were very hard.

It’s best not to travel by the tunnel when you find the traffic is busy. It would be hard for people to build a house on that hill because of the terrible angle. The label on the puzzle said that older children would find it simple to do. Fill the pot with water so it is level with the vegetables. She put a towel over the blind to help keep out the sun. We were told to put the golden angel on the top shelf. In the past, people still had to go outside to grind the flour even if it was the coldest day of the year.

Their happiness turned to sadness as they watched the huge branches of the old tree being cut down. The weakness he felt from his sickness made him helpless, so he wisely sat on the bench. The lovely movie star felt very lonely in the big city and kept quietly to herself. He was very careless and tore the page of a book he was reading. It was hopeless to try to catch the toy boat as it floated under the bridge. We put the harmless insect on the ledge next to the plant.

If we choose the right track there’s a chance we won’t lose the race. If you’re feeling tired and weak you’d better not dig the hole until tomorrow. They’ve built a new house, just like I’d done.

Do you spread butter and jam on your bread at breakfast? The traffic was so heavy on the way to the picnic that we had to turn back and go somewhere else instead. We got a shock and began to panic when we saw the deadly snake ahead of us in the long grass. The trick to writing a good comic book is to tell funny jokes. His legs felt like lead and he tried to keep steady as he threaded his way up the winding trail. They are hoping, that with a bit of luck, the blow to her head will not make her deaf.

He or she asks questions of the class which can only be answered by yes or no; e.g. ‘Does the word end with est?’ Questions can be limited (three only). In each game, the word needs to be written on the board at the end by a student. Students write quiz questions for spelling words and give For example: ‘What word is a homophone of poor?’ (pour) them to another pair to solve. Alternatively, a ‘quiz night’ could be held using multiple lists. For example: Students write secret word clues for list words. Hold a Take p from pencil and add st.

Write list words on small cards or graph paper, cut out the letters and then build the word from the cut out letters

Play ‘Snap’ or ‘Concentration’ with word parts, prefixes or suffixes Use magnetic letters to form words on a board

Emphasise and discuss spelling rules and brainstorm to complete lists of words following the rule. Also find exceptions to the rule.

= listen

Students gradually add to a bank of words they are unsure of how to spell, remembering to check to see if a word is listed before asking for it to be written. For example: space matches ship or craft, and can also have s, ed or ing added to it. Variation: Students ask questions requiring a yes/no response to guess a mystery spelling word. The student is then required to form the word correctly on the board. For example: e goes away before ing comes to stay (rhyme/rhyming, circle/circling), but not after tiptoe/ tiptoeing

Each player has five word cards and the rest are placed facedown in a pile. The top card is placed face-up next to the pile. The first player can take a card from the pile or the upturned card. The player must put down one of his or her cards on the upturned pile. The aim is to collect pairs of cards which are linked in some way; e.g. both begin with gr, both rhyme, both have four letters.
