Shoal Bay Public School Spelling

Kindergarten
ENe-5A demonstrates developing skills in using letters, simple sound blends and some sight words to represent known words when spelling understand that initial approximations can lead to correct formal spelling

Stage 1
EN1-5A uses a variety of strategies, including knowledge of sight words and lettersound correspondences, to spell familiar words demonstrate growing awareness of how accurate spelling supports the reader in understanding written texts to read fluently

Stage 2
EN2-5A uses a range of strategies, including knowledge of lettersound correspondences and common letter patterns, to spell familiar and some unfamiliar words understand how accurate spelling supports the reader to read fluently and interpret written text

Stage 3
EN3-4A draws on appropriate strategies to accurately spell familiar and unfamiliar words when composing texts understand how accurate spelling supports the reader to read fluently and interpret written text with clarity

Students develop and apply contextual knowledge

Understand and apply knowledge of language forms and features

spell unknown words phonetically with closer approximations know how to use onset and rime to spell words (ACELA1438) identify patterns in words leading to the identification of word families use and write beginning and ending sounds of spoken words know that letters are used to represent sounds when writing words know that regular one-syllable words are made up of letters and common letter clusters that correspond to the sounds heard, and how to use visual memory to write high-frequency words(ACELA1778) understand how to use digraphs, long vowels, blends and silent letters to spell words, and use morphemes and syllabification to break up simple words and use visual memory to write irregular words (ACELA1471) recognise common prefixes and suffixes and how they change a word's meaning (ACELA1455, ACELA1472) begin to understand how knowledge of word origins supports spelling and vocabulary understand how to use strategies for spelling words, including spelling rules, knowledge of morphemic word families, spelling generalisations, and letter combinations including double letters (ACELA1485, ACELA1779) recognise homophones and know how to use context to identify correct spelling (ACELA1780) understand how knowledge of word origins supports spelling understand how to use banks of known words, word origins, base words, suffixes and prefixes, morphemes, spelling patterns and generalisations to learn and spell new words, for example technical words and words adopted from other languages (ACELA1513, ACELA1514, ACELA1526) understand that the pronunciation, spelling and meanings of words have histories and change over time (ACELA1500)

Respond to and compose texts use approximations and some conventional spelling attempt to spell unknown words using simple strategies, eg segmenting spell some common words accurately in their own writing vocalise or subvocalise words when trying to write them use plural form when spelling some words spell high-frequency and common sight words accurately when composing texts spell known words using letter names isolate and write the initial, medial and final sound of a word exchange one letter in a written word with a different letter to make a new word use double consonants where appropriate, eg 'hopping' begin to use a dictionary for spelling activities and word meaning recognise when a word is spelt incorrectly use morphemic and phonological knowledge when spelling use a variety of spelling strategies to spell high-frequency words correctly when composing imaginative and other texts use morphemic, visual, syntactic, semantic and phonological knowledge when attempting to spell unknown words discuss and use strategies for spelling difficult words experiment with spell check applications and develop an awareness of the limitations of their features in digital technology use knowledge of alphabetical order to locate information in texts, eg dictionaries, glossaries identify spelling errors in own writing and unknown texts and provide correct spelling recognise most misspelt words in their own writing and use a variety of resources for correction integrate a range of spelling strategies and conventions to accurately spell most words, including words of many syllables, when composing imaginative and other texts use morphemic, visual, syntactic, semantic and phonological strategies, eg recognition of letter patterns of words, when composing texts demonstrate an awareness of the limitations of spell check features in digital communication
