Conventions of Spelling Scaffolding learning from 1.50
Indicators of Progress
- Students recall the spelling of common high-frequency words, words of one syllable with regular rime units, and some two-syllable words with regular spelling (for example, windy, playing).
- Students use their knowledge of some spelling patterns to generate plausible attempts at spelling unfamiliar words by using analogy.
- Students use more complex phonological processes and more complex phonic conventions to spell words, for example, spelling words that have the sound pattern usually associated with ‘wa’ for example, wan, was, wand, water.
