Conventions of Spelling: Scaffolding Learning From Level 2

Indicators of Progress

  • Students spell one-syllable words with 2–4-letter irregular rimes and use these to spell related unfamiliar one-syllable words by either recoding and blending onsets and rimes or making rime and onset analogy with known words.
  • Students recognise syllables in familiar two-syllable words and use these to spell unfamiliar two-syllable words by analogy.
  • Students spell words that have the same spelling pattern but are pronounced differently, for example, car, care, and warm or have and gave.
  • Students develop words from base words, identify words within words and group them according to spelling patterns and sounds.
