I found these strategies & images from All About Learning Press
Phonetic Spelling Strategies: Students learn to sound out individual sounds in words and then moving up to combinations of letter sounds. If a student can identify individual sounds, they will be able to spell the word out more easily.
Rule-Based Spelling Strategies: In English, sounding out words can be difficult because there are so many rules. Teaching students specific rules like when to use ‘c’ and ‘k’ and knowing generalizations can help with correct spelling of words.
Visual Spelling Strategies: Often students might say “Does that look right?” when spelling out a word. Word banks can help build visual memory when it comes to spelling and it can be important to use homophones correctly too (ex. pray & prey). Reading and word games can be helpful for visual memory too!
Other helpful strategies:
- Looking up words or using a spell checker to check proper spelling.
- Look for unfamiliar words while reading and make a note of it. – After silent reading, teacher can gather students and have them read out the words they didn’t know and problem solve.
- Using Mnemonics (a memory trick to remember rules).
- Give students resource lists to help them when they are stuck and can use while they are writing.

Kaitlyn, I am so glad you chose to do your inquiry on this topic! During my practicum experiences so far, I have found that teachers are starting to put spelling on the back burners and focus on the writing as a whole instead. Although both are important aspects of learning, I feel that in order to do well in society and secure a job, children do need to learn how to spell correctly. I liked all the different strategies that you presented to incorporate spelling into the classroom.

Thanks! Ya i found that I was having trouble trying to teach students how to spell words without just giving them the letters. They weren’t trying it themselves. I agree that teachers these days don’t put much emphasis on spelling but I think it’s really important especially in the early grades so they don’t fall behind.

My sponsor teacher this year uses two different spelling programs. She found the one she was using at the beginning of the year was too advanced for some of our students. She now uses a second one for those students who are not that strong of spellers. I think it is important to have spelling in your class but I agree that a lot of teachers I’ve seen in the past have put it on the back burner as Jordie had said. My sponsor teacher gets the students to copy out the words in their free time and it has strengthened a lot of students skills. The english language is so tricky with all its rules.
