Webinar Video: Signs for Sounds: Spelling by the numbers

2850 Views



Presented October 24, 2018 by Karen Hunter, Read Naturally Educational Consultant.

Teachers can work smarter—not harder—to provide highly-effective spelling instruction for beginning and developing readers. Learning to spell and learning to read rely on much of the same underlying knowledge—the relationships between letters and sounds.

  • Did you know that 50% of words have regular spelling patterns, and another 37% are very close? Students need to learn these reliable patterns. And, this instruction has a positive impact on reading development!
  • Did you know that 100 words make up 50% of the words children read and write? Obviously, these words have a high priority for our instructional time. Read Naturally’s Signs for Sounds™ uses research-based strategies to teach students how to spell sound-out words (with regular spelling patterns) and spell-out words (with irregular spelling patterns)—with a special emphasis on high-frequency words.
