Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated three methods for teaching children how to spell. Third grade students were divided into three conditions for a one-week training period consisting of 15- to 20-minute lessons. One of the two experimental conditions used a whole language approach along with explicit strategy instruction. The second condition used strategy instruction within a traditional setting. The control used strictly a whole language approach to le~ing hO\\l to spell. The spelling perfonnance of all three conditions improved after the one-week training period. However, students in the strategy instruction groups did significantly better on the study "'7ords than the whole language only group. The students in whole-Ianguage-plusstrateg)! instruction outperformed both other groups. Significantly better spelling perfonnance was observed even at the nine-week posttest. This study frrst supported the hypothesis that children can make significantly greater improven1ents in their spelling when explicitly taught how to use spelling strategies. Secondl)', this study indicated that whole language provided a relevant context for the study words, clearly giving the students in the whole-Ianguage-plus-strategy condition an additional advantage.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The focus of the present study was to identify a set of prerequisite tasks, modality relevant to spelling performance, that when based on accuracy and speed as performance measures, would discriminate between good spellers and poor spellers. A review of related literature suggested that (a) tasks used to date have represented more than one basic behavior per task; (b) tasks that have been used are related to, but are not direct replications of the modality input and output structure of spelling behavior; (c) tasks used have not represented the most basic skills assumed by curriculum hierarchies to be prerequisite to spelling competence; and (d) tasks have been assessed by accuracy alone, without referring to speed (fluency) as a viable performance measure. A spelling test was administered to a group of third graders in Alachua County, Florida. From these results, the top and bottom 25.9 percent (good and poor spellers) were chosen (N=35 per group). Each of these subjects was then assessed on each of eight tasks on three consecutive days. Accuracy and speed scores were obtained for each subject on each task. Discriminant analysis and multiple regression procedures were used to analyze the data. The results of the study indicated that two of the eight tasks used, See CVC trigram/Say nonsense word and Hear two letter blends and digraphs/Write letters, were the best tasks with which to discriminate groups of good and poor third grade spellers. Speed and accuracy scores on the two tasks were found to be nearly equivalent discriminators between the two groups of spellers. The findings of this study indicated that the use of speed and accuracy as performance measures may serve two useful functions. First, speed and accuracy scores discriminate between good and poor spellers. Second, speed and accuracy scores reduce possible misclassifications that may interfere with a child's curricular program. The overall and additional findings have suggested possible alternative research efforts that may help solve the problem of presenting classroom instruction that could promote better spelling achievement.

This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spelling is an under-researched and often under- taught elementary school subject. This book details an investigation of traditional versus extended word study spelling instruction that includes results of 3rd graders' spelling achievement. Traditional spelling instruction was based on the use of spelling lists from 3rd grade basal readers. The extended word study instruction brought together the Words Their Way "word study" curriculum plus the use of reliable spelling generalizations. Overall spelling achievement, general spelling knowledge, transfer of spelling knowledge and ability to verbalize spelling knowledge were measured. Extend word study significantly improved overall spelling development, ability to discuss common spelling usage patterns and transfer of spelling knowledge to unfamiliar low-frequency words. This book will be helpful to elementary school administrators and teachers interested in how to provide engaging and evidenced-based spelling instruction that is integrated into a literacy framework.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of weekly posttest indicated that the self-correction method was more effective in improving the spelling performance of two out of three students. Two participants learned more words during the self-correction method while one participant learned one more word in weekly posttest of the traditional condition. There were no significant difference among student participants in the generality measures. Two out of three students generalized an average of one more word in the self-correction, while one student generalized one more word in the traditional condition.
