Outcomes & Content.

EN3-4A draws on appropriate strategies to accurately spell familiar and unfamiliar words when composing texts.

Develop and apply contextual knowledge - understand how accurate spelling supports the reader to read fluently and interpret written text with clarity 

Understand and apply knowledge of language forms and features - understand how to use banks of known words, word origins, base words, suffixes and prefixes, morphemes, spelling -

patterns and generalisations to learn and spell new words, for example technical words and words adopted from other languages (ACELA1513, ACELA1514, ACELA1526) - understand that the pronunciation, spelling and meanings of words have histories and change over time (ACELA1500)

Respond to and compose texts - recognise most misspelt words in their own writing and use a variety of resources for correction

- integrate a range of spelling strategies and conventions to accurately spell most words, including words of many syllables, when composing imaginative and other texts

- use morphemic, visual, syntactic, semantic and phonological strategies, eg recognition of letter patterns of words, when composing texts - demonstrate an awareness of the limitations of spell check features in digital communication

 

Learning Intention: To be able to use a range of strategies and conventions to spell familiar and unfamiliar words. To be able to recognise misspelt words in own writing and use strategies to correct these.

Success Criteria: I can use morphemic, visual, syntactic, semantic and phonological strategies when composing texts.

I can recognise and self-correct misspelt words in my own writing.

Spelling Activities & Groups. Students are provided with a weekly spelling list every Monday. Spelling lists are based upon six areas including high frequency,

spelling rules, etymological, compound and theme/extension words (maximum 30 words). Students complete Spelling Board activities where each activity is worth different amounts of points. Each Monday, students write

out their words and glue their checklists into their books. Students aim to achieve 30 points by the end of the week. Assessment of spelling words will occur every Friday. Once students have achieved 100% accuracy for 3 weeks, they move up a level.

Group 1 (5 words) Group 2 (10 words) Group 3 (15 words)

Group 4 (20 words) Group 5 (25 words) Group 6 (30 words)

Cluster 5 Cluster 6 Cluster 7 Cluster 8

*Blends initial consonants with common vowel patterns or word families. *Attempts to read more complex words using letter/sound knowledge. *Uses knowledge of letter clusters and vowel digraphs to spell unfamiliar words.

* Segments sounds in consonant clusters to spell unfamiliar words. Uses familiar words and letter clusters to decode words when reading.

*Recognises that common suffixes in words can have different sounds, e.g. wanted, talked. *Understands that sounds can be represented in various ways when spelling words, e.g. meet, meat.

*Knows common sounds for vowel digraphs and uses syllabification when reading/spelling. *Uses knowledge of word identification strategies including blending, segmenting and letter patterns when reading/spelling.

Phonics: involves making the connection between sounds and letters when reading and spelling. ‘Texts’ include oral, aural, written, visual, electronic and multimodal texts.
