Your child is spelling at the
Letter Name Alphabetic
Spelling Stage. Continue to
work on short vowel sounds
and hearing beginning, middle
and ending sounds in words.
Happy spelling!
• CVC= consonant, vowel,
consonant words
Your child is spelling at the Letter Name
Alphabetic Spelling Stage. Continue to
work on digraphs (th, sh, ch) and blends
in words (example: BLack, beST, DRive,
eND). Happy spelling!
• CCVC= consonant, consonant,
vowel, consonant words
• CVCC= consonant, vowel,
consonant, consonant words
Your child is spelling at the Early Within
Word Pattern Spelling Stage. Continue
to work on hearing the difference
between short and long vowel words
(example: kit vs. kite; cop vs. cope).
Spellers “best bet” with a long vowel
word is to add a bossy e to the end of
a word to make a long vowel pattern
(the e bosses the other vowel to make
it say its name). Happy spelling!
• CVCe= consonant, vowel,
consonant, bossy e words
Your child is spelling at the Middle Within Word
Pattern Spelling Stage. Continue to work on using
the appropriate long vowel spelling pattern in
words. Every vowel has three ways to make the
long vowel sound- CVCe or VV at the beginning or
middle of a word and ___VV at the end. Happy
spelling!
• CVCe= consonant, vowel, consonant, bossy e
(the e bosses the other vowel to say its name)
• CVVC= consonant, vowel, vowel, consonant
(when there are two vowels together, the first
vowel goes talking and the second one goes
walking- you don’t hear it)
• CVV= consonant, vowel, vowel (y or w have
tails and “monkeys have tails so tails go at the
end”)
Your child is spelling at the Late
Within Word Pattern Spelling Stage.
Continue to work on hearing the
dipthong in words and use the
appropriate spelling pattern (there
are two ways to make dipthong
sounds- the way that has a tail with
a “y” or “w” goes at the end
because “monkeys have tails and
tails go at the end”). Happy
spelling!
