Spelling has looked different in my class over the past few years and will probably continue to change as I constantly reflect on my teaching practice. <br />We have spent some 'Work on Words' time looking at prefixes and suffixes and what they mean eg. tri, triangle, tricycle, etc along with many other strategies. As Jenny said we need a mixed approach to teaching spelling.<br />Happy Blogging!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539890351445302784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391685599577516203.post-51876417908187517222014-03-23T22:49:57.685-07:002014-03-23T22:49:57.685-07:00Nice work using Social Media and Blogging Lea.
Do...Nice work using Social Media and Blogging Lea. <br />Do you find that there are times where the Daily 5 learning changes focus each week.<br />For example if students get better at reading, you realise that students are requiring support in other areas all of a sudden?<br /><br />TristanTrist36https://www.blogger.com/profile/07212547537052582611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391685599577516203.post-54647268837987403012014-03-18T04:08:01.083-07:002014-03-18T04:08:01.083-07:00Lea,
You are blogging!!! Awesome first post.
I fee...Lea,<br />You are blogging!!! Awesome first post.<br />I feel out of the loop with the Daily 5 and I have no idea what the CAFE menu is but if someone hands me a hot chocolate and GF muffin when I walk in their classroom well that would be pretty cool.<br />At school council last night we had a discussion about Naplan results and in particular writing. There was a lot of discussion around the thought that technology was having a huge impact in secondary students writing skills measured over a few years. Will be interesting to monitor this further as the school in question has a mix of primary and secondary students completing Naplan.<br />Enjoy your blogging journey.<br />GillMrs Daveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384987076151217575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391685599577516203.post-13502367183807993032014-03-09T23:20:42.817-07:002014-03-09T23:20:42.817-07:00Hi Lea,

I too found it interesting and I was worried how I was teaching spelling. I do think we need a mixed approach and students needs as many strategies as possible. What fits one word doesn't always fit another. Just like we orchestrate the use of cues when reading the writer needs to be able to orchestrate a range of strategies to enable spelling to happen. I guess the most important thing is for the children to have a spelling conscience. So they search out to find out and can see when something is not right. <br /><br />I also wonder how much spell checkers will be used in the future as more assessment comes online. Also I wonder about the importance of oral language as speech to text becomes more commonly used. What do you think?<br />Cheers from Jenny<br /><br />@jjashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04218613937048579590noreply@blogger.com
