Evangelical Christian AcademySpelling Instructional Guide

Course Description The ECA Kindergarten through 6th Grade Spelling Program has been

designed by the teacher to offer a very thorough study of the Spelling Process: Phonetic awareness, as well as multiple word study skills are used. All grades study commonly misspelled words and provide the teacher to add challenging words from other subject areas.

The 6th grade program correlates spelling with their Latin/Greek Vocabulary curriculum. The students spelling words are the English words derived from the Latin/Greek roots learned in vocabulary. This integration between subjects that complement one another results in enhanced student learning.

Educational Philosophy The K-6 spelling program enables children to write accurately and to

communicate the Gospel clearly in order to become effective ambassadors for Christ. This program teaches them that proper spelling is a courtesy to the reader and is necessary in order to convey the writer’s message clearly (Matthew 28:31)

Grade Overview Kindergarten – Spelling Connections for Kindergarten is a systematic and

explicit instructional program that will help students o develop phonemic awarenesso practice and learn targeted soundso understand that spelling is for writingo build foundational spelling and language skills

- Spelling Connection, Teacher Guide

Spelling concepts are woven into the reading/language program as letters and sounds are taught. 22 spelling words (taken from the Ayers list) are introduced and practiced at the end of the year.

First – ACSI’s Purposeful Design spelling program approaches spelling as a critical literacy skill that strengthens reading and writing ability. Each spelling strategy has a direct correlation to more effective and efficient reading and writing.

1


Second – There are 36 lessons that span the entire year utilizing different methods proven to help build spelling power. These methods include phonetic analysis, vocabulary development, learning frequently misspelled words, and incorporating words into writing.

Third – The third grade spelling curriculum is a program that uses spelling strategies such as word sorting by phonetic patterns, acquisition of spelling rule generalizations, and the mastery of high frequency words. The words are learned through the use of pre-tests, tests, application of spelling context, writing assignments using the given words and games.

Fourth – Spelling is a vital element of communication enabling us to correctly express God’s truth. The spelling lists are a compilation of the words taken from the ACSI fourth grade curriculum. In addition, fourth graders are expected to learn to spell all fifty states, capitals and abbreviations. Developing spelling skills will allow students to become better writers and prepare them for adulthood.

Fifth – Fifth graders are given a pre-test on Mondays and it only counts for a grade if students earn 100%. Words that re misspelled on the pre-test are to be written correctly three times. Students must complete four workbook pages and a final test is given on Friday.

Sixth – Spelling words are chosen based upon the Latin/Greek vocabulary words. Students learn the Latin/Greek roots and the corresponding English words. Students learn word building skills as they put root words together. Students develop dictionary skills as they go beyond just learning how to spell a word but also the meaning of the word and to correctly use the word in a sentence.

Kindergarten

Course Description Spelling concepts are woven into the reading/language program. As phonics is

taught, the students realize that the letters make sounds and the sounds are put together to form words. During the months of April and May, spelling words


(taken from the Ayers list of most commonly used words) and spelling tests are introduced.

General Objectives Apply knowledge of letters and sounds to form simple words phonetically.
