B) What are the 1 or 2 most important lessons about teaching spelling that we learned last week?


Consider this email I received from one of your colleagues:

Hi Pete.I have already experimented with the "struct" matrix with my grade 6 LA class. They were totally into it. Looks like matrix exercises will be part of my regular practice.

I wanted to add that even the most struggling students in LA were extremely engaged in the matrix activity.After we were finished, we did a reflection and these were the student reactions - no kidding, no scripting honest.

"Word creation follows formulas""Making words is easy with matrices""Making words is fun with matrices""Faster/easier to be accurate in spelling""Making words in the matrix increases my vocabulary""Radical how a few word parts can lead to exploring so many other words"And the crème de le crème of answers - "Word matrices make reading easier!"

I thought you might like these responses.


Two central ideas about instruction of the written word:

1) English spelling is highly ordered and structured to represent the meaning of words.

2) English spelling is subject to analysis and understanding through scientific inquiry.

“As soon as the children’s vocabulary permits, they could take up words like major-majority, history-historical-historian, nature-natural, etc. to see how one and the same root [base or stem] changes its pronunciation as different endings are added to it. They might even profitably be introduced to the idea … that the root [base or stem] alone doesn’t really have a specific pronunciation until you know what ending goes with it.”
