The Science of <strong>Spelling</strong><br />
Gentry (2004)<br />
Richard Gentry breaks down preconceptions and misconceptions<br />
about how kids learn to spell, making new connections between<br />
orthography and literacy.<br />
Underpinned by his research, he offers techniques and insights that<br />
will support lesson planning, including ways to:<br />
• identify, through spelling, what level of emergent writing a<br />
student has attained<br />
• use scaffolding, hand and finger spelling, letter boxes, and<br />
other instructional devices appropriately<br />
• manage word lists and word sorts<br />
• differentiate spelling instruction and assessment<br />
• evaluate spelling books and find alternatives to traditional<br />
spelling resources<br />
• teach phonemic awareness and phonics through spelling.
