Spelling Placement Test

Jump to  Section 2   Section 3   Section 4   Section 5   Section 6

Course Description:

This course is not intended for everyone, just for those who are struggling with spelling. There are six levels corresponding roughly to grade levels. Each level has sixty lessons. Doing three levels is a full 180-day course. You can use the placement test to see where your child might need to start. Each day works on a phonics pattern, so it might be very helpful to a child really struggling to just start on a simple level. Each day they are given a phonics pattern to practice and a sight word. They will practice some past sight words as well. Here is the full list of the spelling words.

Example

Example Lesson for a Reminder of How to do the Lessons

  1. We’re going to work on spelling patterns. For instance, if you can spell bed, then you can spell red. They follow the same spelling pattern.
  2. I’ll give you the pattern and the first letter to use it with and you write them together, following the pattern.
  3. Example:
    • I will give you the spelling pattern -ed. The line means that’s where the other letter or letters go. This spelling pattern comes at the end of the word.
    • Then I will give you letters such as b and r.
    • Then you would put them together. You would write bed and red.
  4. When you write the words, write one on each line. At the very top of the page write the spelling pattern. Under that write a word on each line. Write neatly. The letters should sit on the line. Some letters are “tall” letters, such as h and t. They reach all the way up. All capital letters are tall letters. Some letters are short letters. They just go halfway up. Some letters hang down. The long line hangs down under your writing line, but the rest of the letter sits on the line. Here’s a picture of how the letters are formed.
  5. Write the words with the spelling pattern of
    • -ed
    • b, r, T, l, w, f, N
    • Always write with lowercase letters unless I give you a capital letter. What words start with an uppercase letter? Names!
  6. Hint: A lowercase b faces the same way as a capital B. It’s like a capital B with the top part erased.
  7. The second part of our spelling lesson is to work on sight words. These don’t necessarily follow our patterns, so we need to practice them special.
  8. Your first sight word is THE, the.
  9. Practice.
    • Look at the word for the day.
    • Say it out loud.
    • Read the letters out loud.
      • Did you do it?
      • Make sure to say the letters out loud with your voice.
    • Close your eyes and picture the word. Picture what letter it starts with. Picture what letter it ends with. Picture the word.
    • Write the word in the air with your finger.
    • Write the word with your finger on the table.
    • Look at “the.”  The letters t and h are tall letters. The letter e is a short letter.
  10. Read your words after you write them. It’s a good spelling practice to read your words after you write them to make sure they say what you intended!
  11. Go to our spelling word website.
  12. Each time it shows you the word, wait until it disappears and then write it down.
    • Write the words on a line towards the bottom of the page.
    • Cover it over with your hand or a piece of paper. Click “Again” and when it disappears, write it.  Repeat.
    • Leave a big space between each word. Tap your paper two times with a jump to help you leave a space.

    • Did you notice that each syllable has a vowel sound? Every syllable always has a vowel sound. That knowledge will help your spelling.
    • Put the long vowel sound of “E” onto the end of these words by writing a Y after these word parts.

The long line hangs down under your writing line, but the rest of the letter sits on the line. Here’s a picture of how the letters are formed.
  3. Write the words with the spelling pattern of
    • -ube  (This says “U.” It is the long sound U. The long sound is when the letter says it’s name. This pattern of vowel-consonant-vowel makes the first vowel say its name. The silent E at the end is a specific pattern you will be seeing and practicing a lot. Vowel-Consonant-E is something to look for at the end of the word. It’s a clue that the vowel says its name.)
