Download or read book Spelling Journal written by and published by . This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Logic of English Spelling Journal is a practical, student-created reference guide. This tool may be used with The Logic of English Curriculum or it may be used by anyone who wants to create a reference of difficult-to-spell words which include sounds that have multiple options for spelling in English. The fact that many sounds in English are spelled in multiple ways is one of the most difficult aspects for mastering English spelling. For example: do we use an AI, AY, EIGH, A, A with a silent E, or an EA to spell the long /a/ sound? Essentials provides a unique approach to teaching spelling that includes not only learning the sound(s) of the phonograms but learning the options for how to spell each sound, where each option is used, which spellings are rare, and which spellings must be memorized. The Spelling Journal is an ideal student created reference to track this vital information and to categorize words according to the sounds heard within the word.
