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.

This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Extended Word Study Spelling Instruction with Third Grade Students written by Mary Abbott and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. 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.

Book excerpt: This workbook has been designed for use in the classroom whether in traditional, homeschool or virtual (e-learning) settings. Each puzzle contains twenty words that have been carefully chosen and are recommended to work with your students on.At the 3rd Grade level, words can be left to right, down, diagonal or backwards. The solutions area in the back of the book and are meant for self-checking and/or parent/teacher checking, and of course, for those times when you look and look and still can't find the word!Because some of these words are only three or four letters, it is quite possible that some words will appear more than once within a puzzle. If you are giving points for each word located, consider bonus points for finding those duplicates. Also, it's very common that puzzles contain extra words that aren't on the list. It's a great way to give students that finish quickly something else to focus on.Unfortunately, due to the randomization of the letters in each puzzle, it is possible that a "bad word" or two may exist throughout the book. At this grade level, students amazingly find them often before adults do. Obviously, you should discourage searching for those words, but don't make it an issue until it is one or they'll go out of their way to find words.The 3rd Grade book increases the rows to 19x19. One unit has 20x20 rows. (Keep them busy figuring out which unit has 20x20!) As grade levels go up, the number of rows will range from 20 x 20 up to 29 x 29, and of course the words are grade level appropriate and get longer.The back of each page is deliberately blank so the students can focus using the same layout every week without fumbling with the book. While writing words or putting words in short sentences may be an option, we recommend using lined paper instead with the appropriately sized rows. One activity you might consider is having the students draw pictures of as many of the words as they can or write words that rhyme with the spelling words. You're creative, right? You'll figure something great to do with the back side of the pages.The pages are not perforated by design because many teachers have students turn in the entire book and some will not pass them back out until the following Monday when you are ready to introduce new words. This discourages students from working ahead.You'll notice that some words are short while others are longer even within the same week's words. The words were carefully selected based on many factors whether it be word type, commonly misspelled words, certain letter and sound combinations or other factors.Don't want your students to be able to view the solutions at the back of the book? A few staples or some tape to bind those pages together will fix that, although most students enjoy being able to find the words without peeking at the answers, especially at younger ages.No separate Teachers' Edition is necessary with this workbook.Be sure to check out our other spelling books for other grade levels as well as other books we have published.
