Planning and teaching
Spelling K–8 meets the needs of schools and districts that want to put systematic teaching in place without compromising the principles of constructivist learning. Children are actively engaged in spelling explorations, being guided by their teachers, forming generalizations that reflect their current understanding about how written English works. Suggestions are also offered for children whose first language is not English. This book addresses the issues that administrators and parents are concerned about—especially phonics and high frequency words—and offers teachers a wealth of strategies and resources to draw on. (K-8) 280 pp.
