SPELLING INSTRUCTIONS

FISD supports direct spelling instruction with embedded opportunities for the authentic application of learning through writing.  The goal of spelling instruction is to develop independence, fluency, and accuracy in writing. Instruction will be interrelated and interconnected with all strands of language.  The primary focus of instruction is on teaching a variety of effective spelling strategies, rather than on just memorizing lists of words.  Students will be given opportunities to work with words, to proofread their own writing, and to study regular spelling patterns. The key to spelling development is the understanding and application of spelling strategies that enable students to become independent and competent spellers.
