ICANSPELL

About this curriculum

Spelling lessons under your control lead to spelling mastery. Short conversational-style lessons written directly to the student allow him or her to work alone if s/he is capable. If not, the teacher can easily read and/or interpret lessons to the student. Text size is different for each Level. Here are sample lessons for Level 1 and for Level 4. One-page instruction sheets written to the student present the ICANSPELL and ICANSPELL AGAIN 5-step spelling study cycles in bullet form. These may also function as moveable bookmarks. ICANSPELL AGAIN is the part of the spelling study cycle where the student restudies words they did not learn the first (or subsequent) time it was taught in a lesson. You maintain control of difficult words by keeping them in the system until the student finally learns them! Instructions written directly to the student explain what to do with unconquered words. Details a slightly different 5-step process for studying the words again. Control sheets enable you to keep tabs on the student's progress through lessons. Spelling lists and activities are presented on the same page as lessons so that everything can be seen at a glance…
