SIXSPELL BEGINNING LEVEL-1


Book Description

Our Sixspell program design allows the child to see his or her diagnostic test results, work on skills specific to his or her needs, and than retest to see if he or she has learned the skills. There is enough overlap built into the program that the student will get practice with the same skills many times after having learned them. The objectives of this program are to: 1) strengthen awareness of structural similarities and rules in English spelling; 2) increase student success in spelling; 3) improve student attitude in spelling; 4) develop automaticity of spelling in all written work; 5) provide a program to replace spelling texts; 6) provide a program that integrates nicely with all subject areas; that can be set up as an activity centre as part of an active learning environment. The program can be used with a whole class or individually.




SIXSPELL PRIMARY-2


Book Description

Sixspell is an alternative program for teachers and students who still believe in the benefits of a daily spelling program without the use of the traditional spelling text. Research supports our program's process of direct spelling instruction 10 to 15 minutes per day; use of meaningful words; rules based on needs; and lack of benefit to student to study words he or she already knows how to spell. In addition, spelling researchers stress that children must recognize sound/symbol relationships and are able to read the words they are expected to spell before a successful spelling program can take place. The words in this program have been selected from a variety of word lists intended for Grade 3 spellers. However, there is a considerable overlap in words used for various grade levels in all marketed spelling materials. This program is also an effective re-mediation technique.
