This continuation of How to Teach English, Part I contains a few more books on composition and usage, and then moves on to spelling and vocabulary. Since teaching English is one of the most important tasks teachers have, you need the best available tools to do the job. One great new writing curriculum I did not have time to review before the last issue is Part B is where you find the grammar and usage lessons. Some topics included are "More Power (Use Verbs);" "Beware the Bore-bees (Nix the ‘To BE’ Verbs);" "Time Travel (Tense Agreement)" and "Capital Idea (When to Capitalize)." These titles will, I hope, give you a little of the book’s flavor. There are thirty grammar lessons in all.

Hello Shirin,
I teach the alphabet this way. I encourage children to write on blackboard as many abbreviations as possible. They all know the right spelling of following abbreviations [in our language English is used for the spelling of these DJ, UK, USA, NHL, SOS, CNN, FBI, OK, CIA, NBA, VIP, PC, DVD, TV, LP, LA and many others. Going through this list we learn how to spell particular letters. Bye. (Editor's note. I use abbreviations too, and play a memory game in which the students have to say the abbreviations that are written on the board. As I go round the class I erase one of the abbreviations, but the student reciting must still say the missing ones. And so on, until the last student has to say them all, with perhaps only one still on the board. Finally, I wipe them all off, and in pairs the students have to write them down from memory. A useful and involving way to practice saying the letters of the alphabet)

Spelling Program
by Julia Peattie
On October 11th, 1996 Julia Peattie posted on a multiage listserve a description of the spelling program she uses in her 2/3 multiage classroom. Her program is "testless," using spelling books to communicate student progress to the parents. It is another excellent way for students to learn how to spell in a multiage setting. With her permission I have reposted it here. You don't have to do lists and tests to teach spelling! From what I have seen of the list/test methods, the kids learn the words temporarily and then forget them. They can get a word right on their test and then spell it wrong a week later, because the spelling program is focused on words, not strategies. The kids with great visual discrim do well on the list/test, others do not. I DO teach spelling. I teach strategies and spelling patterns all over the place. This year I am putting some of the spelling work into spelling books so that I can SHOW parents that we are really working on it. (They are nervous enough about the fact that I don't give tests, I felt I had to show them something).

Read-and-Sing Books
Action Factor's Read-and-Sing phonics books build reading and writing skills for beginning readers with the help of some special friendsAmos, Eli, Ivy, Otis, Uri, and Yvette. These lovable characters keep children smiling as they follow along in the book and join in the lively phonics learning songs. The sing-along CDs feature 2 tracks1 vocal and 1 instrumental. After a bit of practice with the vocal track, children can perform the song using just the instrumental track. And because children learn best when they can apply what they know, creative activities for reinforcing the phonics sounds and concepts are included with each book. Read-and-Sing books are whimsically illustrated in full color soft cover format and build phonemic awareness through music.
Letters and Sounds Collection Priced for convenience and economy, the Letters and Sounds collection includes six Read-and-Sing Books and six music CDs at a price that is lower than the cost of five books, if purchased separately. This collection provides a foundation in phonemic awareness that is crucial to early literacy, an excellent enhancement for Sing Your Way Through Phonics CDs and Mini-Charts!

Spelling with Phonics Pathways
This article discusses how to use Phonics Pathways to teach spelling. These step-by-step directions are a guide and blueprint that will enable you to teach anyone how to spell easily and accurately. Reprinted from Phonics Talk, volume 7
Many of you have requested information about how to use Phonics Pathways to teach spelling. Phonics Pathways indeed can be a useful and convenient tool to teach spelling as well as reading, as it does contain all of the spelling rules and patterns. And it's certainly economical to have just one text in your rapidly-growing piles of teaching materials that covers both subjects! That being said, Phonics Pathways is not a scripted spelling program or workbook per seit does not lay out specific exercises or have well-defined instructions for spelling activities, and it does not teach grammar, writing, origins of words (Greek, Latin, etc.), etc. It will simply provide a basic, plain-vanilla foundation for accurate spelling, from which you can then move into other aspects of the English language as desired. This article is intended to offer specific strategies that might be helpful to those of you wishing to use Phonics Pathways for teaching spelling. It's also useful as a checkpoint reference with other programs to be sure all bases are covered, as it does contain a few spelling rules that are not always included elsewhere.

Subscribe Post Reviews ... Tutors April 2003 My 9 year old daughter spells phonetically. For instance, culture, she spells callcher. Her teacher tells me that her mispelling impedes her learning. I wonder if anyone has an advice for teaching her to correct her spelling, or know a tutor who can teach how to spell, please recommend one. Thanks. Check out the book ''Reading Reflex''. It is intended to teach kids to read, but it is just as good at teaching spelling. It systematically teaches kids every way a certain sound in English can be represented in writing. So she'll learn that the long a sound can be written ay, a, ae, ei, eigh, ea, and so on. The book doesn't call phonetic spellings wrong, just ''not the accepted way''. If a child isn't sure how to spell something they have them try all the ways they can think of to spell the word, and then pick the one that looks best. They teach endings like -ture, -tion and so on at the end of the book. From the Read America website http://www.readamerica.net/

Practical Homeschooling
Jan-Feb, 2002 by Sam Blumenfeld
Few children have problems blending the letter sounds. They do it automatically in speech, even though they don't know that they are blending sounds together. It took a great linguistic genius way back when the alphabet was invented to break up the consonant blends into their separate sounds. But that became easy to do with the alphabet letters representing each irreducible speech sound. And today, it's easy for a child to learn by showing that the blends consist of separate sounds "blended" together. When to Teach Blends When should you teach the blends? You can start after the child has learned the short-vowel sounds, all of the consonants, and can read many simple three-letter words. But before you go into the blends, you should teach the consonant digraphsthe two-letter combinations that stand for one soundsuch as th, sh, chso that the child can read such words as wish, rich, the, that, this, with, etc. You can begin teaching the blends before you even teach the long vowels. In fact, I highly recommend teaching the blends entirely with short-vowel words because they are easier to learn with what has already been mastered.

Facts on the teaching of spelling Too much that is known about how to teach spelling isn't being put into practice. I can think of no subject we teach more poorly or harbor more myths about than spelling.Richard Gentry, 1987 Background For decades, more people seem to have considered themselves poor spellers than good spellers, despite the fact that most of us spell correctly the vast majority of the words we write. With spelling, we seem to expect that all of us should spell one hundred percent correctly, even on first drafts, and even as young children. Perhaps it is this unrealistic expectation that leads some parents and others to object when teachers use newer methods of helping children learn to spell, such as encouraging children to "use invented spelling" in their early attempts to write. Such critics mistakenly assume that children who initially use approximate spellings will never become good spellers, or that if the time-honored method of memorizing spelling lists were used instead, every child would become a perfect speller. Neither observed experience nor research supports these assumptions.
