The Directed Spelling Thinking Activity (DSTA): Providing an effective balance in word ... - 1 views

  •  
    This article discusses a strategy that encourages honest discussion, critical thinking, concept formation, and the use of problem-solving strategy. It also allows the children to make predictions, revising their predictions through reading, and using evidence from the readings to defend their conclusions.
  •  
    I liked the different strategies that the authors wrote about on page 103. Those strategies seem to be more student-led, which could mean that students are exploring and solving problems with spelling. However, I wonder how the strategies will work if student's aren't used to self-monitoring spelling individually (asking themselves, does it look right, sound right, and make sense)?

    I really like this! My student really struggles with spelling and so this will be great for my instruction so I can better help him!
  •  
    I also enjoyed this article! I feel like the strategies they list under principle 3 I can use with my student. I also like the games they listed under principle 6. I feel like the games are fun and also beneficial to the students because it will help them develop their spelling.
  •  
    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.

    I really like this! Simple, but effective. Could be used to assess the comprehension at the same time that you are building the understanding.

    I like this idea of acting out the story. It would be fun for students while also getting them to think about details from the story. I think it would be a great activity to work on comprehension.

    I really like this idea! I think it would be a good way to get kids moving around and excited about reading! Also a good alternative to assessing comprehension.
