The Spelling program units coincide with each of the first five stories in the Reading Milestones Readers. No spelling activities are provided for the sixth story in each Reader because these stories have no new words. The Spelling program activity sheets are reproducible and are found on the Reading Milestones Reproducible Materials Flash Drive, which is included with the program or in the boxed set of Spelling black line masters, which is available separately.
The phonological awareness activities in the Spelling activities have been designed to reinforce the direct instruction on development of phonological skills provided during the reading period. Several of the activities in the Spelling activities have been changed to reflect a more developmentally appropriate sequence. The emphasis on phonological awareness activities has been increased in this edition.
Spelling words are the new vocabulary words for each story. For several of the units, the teacher has the opportunity to add additional spelling words that are key words in other areas of study such as math, social studies, and science.
The Spelling program is designed to:
- develop phonological awareness skills
- develop soundÐspelling correspondence
- provide additional practice in word recognition to attain automaticity
- improve accuracy in word spelling that will contribute to writing fluency
The Spelling program consists of the following components: Pretest; Word Practice; Alphabet, Visual, and Phonological/Phonics Instruction; Study Method; and Mastery Test.
