Spelling Strategy

Steps for Spelling New Words This is one strategy that you can use to learn any new spelling word. It has six steps. Step 2 Spell the word aloud.

Step 3 Think about the spelling. Is there anything special to remember?

Step 4 Picture the word with your eyes shut.

Step 5 Look at the word and write it.

Step 6 Cover the word. Picture it and write it again. Check its spelling. Did you get it right?

© Pearson Education

Step 1 Look at the word. Say it and listen to the sounds.

TRY IT OUT Now practice this step-by-step plan on some new spelling words.

vi

Spelling Practice Book

There are 6 steps to remember, but after you use this strategy a few times, you will know how to do it whenever you want to use it. Sam wants to learn the new spelling word basket. In Step 1, he looks at the word, says it, and listens to all the sounds.

In Step 2, he spells the word aloud.

In Step 3, he thinks about how the word looks. He is trying to figure out what is special about the word.

In Step 4, he is picturing the word with her eyes shut.


In Step 5, Sam is looking at the word and writing it on paper at the same time.

Finally, in Step 6, Sam covers the word, pictures what it looks like, and writes it again. He checks to see if it is correct.

Spelling Strategy

Rhyming Helpers If you can match a new list word to a word you know with the same spelling at the end, you will have two words that rhyme. Then the old word can be a helper for the new word. One of your new spelling words is dream. You already know how to spell team. Team is the rhyming helper for dream. Rhyming Helper team

New spelling word dream

Both words have the same ending. Now you can remember how the ending of dream is spelled. It is just like team! Sometimes, thinking about the rhyming words in a short sentence will help you remember how they work together. I play on a dream soccer team. Watch out! Some words rhyme but they have different spellings. Those are NOT rhyming helpers.

team

viii

dream


The word seem sounds like dream, but the rhyming sound is spelled in a different way. Seem is not a rhyming helper. seem


Spelling Strategy

Problem Parts Everybody has words that are hard to spell. Sometimes the problem is with one part of the word. This is a good time to use the Problem Parts strategy. One of the words you will learn is lettuce. The word lettuce sounds like it ends with an s, but it does not. It ends with -uce. That is tricky! Here are steps to follow in the Problem Parts strategy.

Step 1 Ask yourself which part of the word is giving you a problem.

Step 2 Write the word and underline the problem part.

Step 3 Picture the word. Focus on the problem part. You might want to picture the problem part in large letters to help you remember.


Now picture the word and see the problem part before you spell it.


ix

Spelling Strategy

Dividing Long Words Long words can be hard to learn to spell. The Dividing Long Words strategy can help you spell these words. Use syllables to make long words easier to spell. Step 1 Say the word slowly. Listen for the syllables.

Step 2 Write the word and draw lines between the syllables.

Here are three more long words. They have been divided into parts to show you how the Dividing Long Words strategy works. beautiful = beau

ti

ful

refreshment = re fresh

celebration = cel

e bra

tion

ment

Long words are easier to spell when you break them into smaller parts.

x



Step 3 Study the word one syllable at a time.

Spelling Strategy

Pronouncing for Spelling We spell some words wrong because we say them wrong. Say a word very carefully to hear all of its sounds. This is called the Pronouncing for Spelling strategy. Step 1 Say the word slowly and carefully. Listen to the sound of each letter.


Step 2 Say the word again as you write it.
