Research shows that for long-term retention and real-world application spelling instruction needs to be more than the memorization of word lists. Offering an alternative to the traditional word-list approach, Sandra Wilde’s Spelling Strategies and Patterns brings joy and teaching to spelling instruction. Sandra’s inquiry-based approach to spelling instruction engages children in exploring the spelling patterns they are already starting to internalize and developing the strategies that will help them fine-tune their spelling as they write. Spelling Strategies and Patterns has two components: a lesson book and a CD-ROM.
In the lesson book, Sandra offers 65 short lessons designed to help students become more proficient spellers.
In the CD-ROM, there is a wealth of resources to support your inquiry-based spelling instruction.
