Differentiated Spelling Instruction

by Mark Pennington

Jun 8, 2011

Good teachers always use the weekly spelling test as a diagnostic assessment and differentiate instruction by testing on the words students do not know, supplemented by unknown words from their own writing, results of diagnostic assessments, and commonly confused words or homonyms. Check out the resources in this link:

Cara A great way to differentiate spelling instruction is by using the site VocabularySpellingCity. This site lets you create words lists, use them in free games, resources, and printables, and even give your spelling tests. You can create individual lists for each group. [link removed]

by slg

Oct 6, 2011

I am relatively new to Words Their Way. This is conference week and I am looking for some way to let parents know what levels might be considered "second grade" so they can see where their children are. I know all children are working at their own levels and that is explained to parents, but if their child is getting 100s on their tests (which the ...See More

Newto4 Towards the back of the book, there should be a spelling test to give to students. This test is fairly accurate in that if kids can not read/spell these words, then there are games and activities you can do to help them master those skills. You continue the test until students start to make mistakes. After you figure out what skill they are lacking...See More

That's too easy some say but giving those words together teaches a family of words. Do we want to deliberately make spelling hard or do we want to make the underlying rules and connections between words apparent? Are w...See More

by Kate

Sep 2, 2013

I was wondering if anyone had any fun or creative ideas to help teach a third grade class their weekly spelling words using a smartboard or an iPad. Is there any apps or techniques that works best in your classroom? Thanks.
