Spelling In Parts Synthesis Essay

Great Essays
The Spelling In Parts Strategy (SIP) helped students improve spelling by breaking words into syllables, saying the syllables and spelling each syllable separately rather than looking at the word as a whole (Powell & Aram 2008). The success of this strategy seems to be based on the combination of hearing the word, using the common spelling patterns, focusing visual attention on the unusual patterns and dividing the words into chunks (Powell & Aram 2008). It has also been observed that there is a carry over to reading when the SIP strategy is implemented (Powell & Aram 2008).

The CCC process can be described as looking at the stimulus, covering the stimulus, copying the stimulus, and comparing the written copy to the original stimulus. If the response and stimulus match, the student moves onto the next item. If the response doesn’t match, the student writes the correct response a set number of times (once or multiple times) (Jaspers et al., 2011). Immediate self-evaluative feedback and daily practice are some of the components of the CCC intervention that prove to be effective. The immediate corrective feedback on performance is found to be more effective than standard spelling approaches that involve practice without checking. Educators can also use flow word lists which can be tested daily, and once a word is spelled correctly a set number of times it can be removed from the list and replaced with a new word which has been shown to more effectively improve spelling than a traditional weekly approach (Jaspers et al., 2011). Results of the study indicated that all students showed steady improvement in spelling accuracy for assigned spelling words, as well as a small increase in spelling accuracy in relation to unassigned/untargeted words Jaspers et al.,

    As an educator, it is important to teach children the tools needed to be successful in school, the community, and the future. Specifically, an elementary school teacher must focus on teaching vocabulary since it is one of the building blocks of learning to read, write, and speak.

    These small errors show that texting may only lead to students lacking in spelling and grammar in writing but not completely changing the style. Shafie states that “Yet there are surprisingly a lot of spelling errors both in-class assignments and examination scripts. This finding suggests that the participants are not able to recall the right spellings when the situation arises.” (Shafie, 2008, p. 30).
