Orthography
• The study of spelling and how letters combine to make sounds and words.
• English is far more regular than it appears on the surface---Scripps Spelling Bee scholars as an example.
• Once teachers have a clear understanding of student’s orthographic knowledge then we can tailor instruction to match needs.
• Teachers look at student’s spelling in daily writing and in assessments.
• MPS teachers use the Developmental Spelling Assessment (DSA).

Instructional Strategies• Looking to teach the “Big Picture”—rather than learn a
limited list of words, we teach students to use the English language system to spell MANY words.
• “Word Study” is a natural bridge between reading and writing.
• In “Word Study” activities, students are taught to explore the sound, pattern and meaning relationships between words.
• A guided approach is used with a gradual release to the students.
