Research study on development of emergent writing skills in preschoolers

Study of Development of Vocabulary

How does this seem like it would be useful? Why would someone read it? Is it applicable to your student at this time?

This article provides a seven step approach to spelling instruction that encourages word study based on the words students experience in their daily writing activities. It focuses on shifting spelling instruction from a focus on the number of words spelled correctly to developing an understanding of how words work.

I love this article. Spelling is so much more than memorizing and the author is right when she says that the words the student don't master on Friday are forgotten by Monday. That is why we work on blends, digraphs, onsets, and rimes. I also love the part about how spelling affects self-esteem and vocabulary as well. Awesome information!

This article really got me thinking about spelling and how it affects a students writing confidence. I like how it is an analyzing of words approach rather than just memorization. I think the chart fort student analyzing could be useful but I might change the wording to be more kid friendly.

This article shares a strategy that teachers in a preschool, kindergarten or first grade classroom can use. The strategy involves the use of the children's drawing and writing a message on the drawing. There are components such as self-talk and materials like highlighters used to draw lines to create ideas.

Do you think discussion or developing student talk would be good tags for this article?
