Sequential Spelling builds on “bases” or “word families” that use the same letter endings. The children see patterns of spelling that exist in many words, from the very simple to the more complicated. For example, by introducing the word “at” a child should be able to spell “bat”, “cat” or “scat”, but will also quickly be able to draw on this knowledge to spell “rattle” and “batteries”.
Each week the children will work with a different word family. Words are selected for common elements rather than grade level appropriateness.
