Learning Target/Task Analysis
Students continue learning specific strategies for decoding words in texts. They are required to apply the specific strategies for decoding and spelling multi-syllabic words.

Essential Vocabulary

Sample Assessments
Divide spelling words into syllables. Use sticky notes to jot down similar prefixes and suffixes while reading. Self Selected Reading Conferences-Read independently with student and model decoding of words as student needs assistance.

Intervention:
Content must be adapted to students needs through use of graphic organizers, outlines, labeling of pictures, study guides, adapted text, and highlighted text.

Word Ladders
Encourage students to make up their own crossword puzzles or word searches for friends and family to develop vocabulary and dictionary skills.
Play the Headline Game; use stories to make up headlines and then vote for the best, e.g. Girl dressed in Red stalked by Wolf(guess the story).
Play around with anagrams to help with patterns and spelling, e.g. make as many words as you can out of Constantinople (1697 apparently!).
Play games that play around with definitions and bluff definitions to encourage interest in word meanings and origins, e.g. Absolute Balderdash or Call My Bluff.
Play games such as Tabooto encourage clarity, fluency and expression without ever saying the obvious descriptive words.
Scrabble is a classic spelling game – guaranteed to get the family talking – or shouting
Encourage book blogging and taking part in readers’ book sites, e.g. adding reviews to Amazon.
Children may like to keep a Favourite Book journal which can have lists of titles, quotations, pictures and sketches to encourage children to look back at what they’ve read.
Get involved in planning a holiday schedule (making a list of books to read, entering book review competitions, planning day trips and so on).
