|
|
Spelling Stages
|
scribbling; pseudo letters; random letters; invented spelling; transitional spelling; conventional spelling
|
|
Scribbling
|
different from drawing because in scribbling, the child purposely scribbles from left to right and often also follows the top to bottom progression.
|
|
Pseudo Letters
|
attempt to create forms that resemble letters; they become aware that the alphabet contains characters of different shapes and attempt to reproduce these in a random way resulting in some form of invented spelling.
|
|
Random Letters
|
letters are randomly selected with no clear connection with the phonems that they are to represent; not producing phonetic spelling at this stage; they write letters and strings and often leave a space between strings, which suggest that they are beginning to understand word boundaries.
|
|
Invented Spelling
|
children try to connect the sounds (phonemes) and the letters (graphemes) to create words resulting in nonstandard writing.
|
|
Transitional Spelling
|
use visual clues and develop a knowledge of word structure. Sight word training very important at this stage; students begin standard spelling and attempt self-correction; may have problems with double vowels such as book and feed, and also words with consonant diagraphs like through and eight.
|
|
Conventional Spelling
|
spell most words using conventional spelling; still may have problems with consonant diagraphs, homonyms, contractions, compound words, as well as prefixes, suffixes, and more difficult letter combinations.
|
|
Writing Stages
|
emerging writers, early writers, and newly fluent writers.
|
|
Emerging Writers
|
dictate an idea or a complete story; use initial sounds in their writing; use pictures, sribbles, symbols, letters, and/or known words to communicate a message; understand that writing symbolizes speech
|
|
Early Writers
|
understand that a written message remains the same each time it is read; utilize their knowledge of sounds and letters as they progress through the stages of spelling development; with modeling and assistance, incorporate feedback in revising and editing their own writing; begin to use conventional grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation
|
|
Newly Fluent Writers
|
use prewriting strategies to achieve their purposes; address a topic or write to a prompt creatively and independently; organize writing to include a beginning, a middle, and an end; use conventional grammar, spelling, capitalization and punctuation; revise and edit written work independently and/or collectively; produce many genres of writing
|
