Stages of Spelling Development
Spelling is all about
PATTERNS.
Children need to be taught to
see the patterns so they learn
patterns instead of memorizing
every single letter of every
single word.
1
WORD STUDY IS DEVELOPMENTAL
 Word
study teaches students to
examine and discover
regularities, patterns, and rules
 Word
study increases specific
knowledge of words--the spelling
and meaning of individual words
2
THE BASIS FOR WORD STUDY
Three Layers of
English
Orthography

Alphabetic--represents
the relationship
between letters and
sounds

Patterns--guide the
grouping of letters

Meaning--groups of
letters represent
meaning directly

Stages of Spelling Development
Emergent
Letter-Name
Within
Word Pattern
Syllable Juncture
Derivational Constancy
5
Emergent--Pre-K to Middle of 1st
 Scribble
letters and #’s
 Lack concepts of words
 Lack letter-sound
correspondence
 Pretend to read and write
6
Emergent Word Study Focus
Develop concept sorts
 Play w/ speech sounds to develop
phonological awareness
 Plan alphabet activities
 Sort pictures by beginning sounds
 Encourage fingerpoint memory of
rhymes, dictations, and simple
pattern books
 Encourage invented spellings

7
Letter-Name--K to Middle of 2nd
 Represents
beginning and
ending sounds
 Has functional concept of
word
 Reads word by word in
beginning reading materials
8
Early Letter Name--Word Study Focus
Collect known words for word banks
 Sort pictures and words by beginning
sounds
 Study word families (rimes) that
share a common vowel
 Study beginning consonant blends
and digraphs
 Encourage invented spelling

9
Middle to Late Letter Name-Word Study Focus
Sort pictures and words by different
short vowel word families
 Sort pictures and words by short
vowel sounds and CVC patterns
 Continue to examine consonant
blends and digraphs
 Begin simple sound sorts comparing
short and long vowel sounds
 Collect known words for word banks
(up to 200)

10
Within Word Pattern-1st Grade to Middle of 4th
Spells most single-syllable short
vowel words correctly
 Spells most beginning consonant
digraphs and 2-letter consonant
blends
 Attempts to use silent-E markers
 Reads silently and more fluently
 Writes more fluently
 Can edit and revise

11
Within Word Pattern-Word Study Focus





Complete daily activities in word study
notebooks
Sort words by long and short vowel sounds
and by common long vowel patterns
Compare words with r-controlled vowels
After mastering common long vowels,
explore less common vowels and
diphthongs (OI, OU, AU, OW)
Review lends and digraphs as needed and
examine triple blends and complex
consonant units (THR, STR, DGE, TCH,
CK)
12
Syllable Juncture--Grades 3-8
Spells most single syllable words
correctly
 Makes errors at syllable juncture and
in unaccented syllables
 Reads with good fluency and
expression
 Reads faster silently than orally
 Writes responses that sophisticated
and critical

13
Syllable Juncture--Word Study Focus
Examine consonant doubling and
inflected endings
 Focus on unaccented syllables such
as ER and LE
 Join spelling and vocabulary studies;
link meaning and spelling
 Explore grammar through word study
 Sort and study affixes
 Study stress or accent in two-syllable
words

14
Derivational Constancy--Grades 5-12
Have mastered high-frequency words
 Make errors on low-frequency words
derived from Greek and Latin
combining forms
 Read with good fluency and
expression
 Read faster silently than orally
 Write responses that are sophisticated and critical

15
Derivational Constancy-Word Study Focus






Focus on words that students bring to word
study from reading and writing
Join spelling and vocabulary studies; link
meaning and spelling
Examine common and then less common
roots, prefixes and suffixes
Examine vowel alterations in derivationally
related pairs (native, national; combine,
combination)
Explore etymology, especially in the content
areas
Examine content-related foreign borrowings
