Using Wanda Sanseri’s “Spell to Write and Read” curriculum (specifically its 29 Spelling Rule cards),  my goal for this course is to reinforce proper spelling for your 4th or 5th grader. I plan to do this through activities, using many example words to tie the spelling rules to daily life words/items, affirming them by writing their applicable examples on the board, encouraging class participation through interactive games, and sending a spelling word list of reinforcement examples home each week – (optional for parents if they choose to review with their children). This is a no stress class - but one that offers vital building blocks for spelling/reading/writing success – and is simply intended to help reinforce what you may have already taught your 4th and 5th grader.

Introduction to the 70 foundational phonograms (using Wanda Sanseri’s “Spell to Write and Read” - 70 phonogram cards) through activities, asking the children for example words, affirming them by writing their applicable examples on the board, encouraging class participation through interactive games, and sending a spelling word list of reinforcement examples home each week – (optional for parents if they choose to review with their children). This is a no stress class - but one that offers vital building blocks for spelling/reading/writing success.
