Class Experience

This course uses structured word inquiry to teach that English spelling is orderly and meaning-based. Students study phonemes, graphemes, morphemes, suffixing conventions (including y→i and silent -e rules), and the influence of Greek and Latin roots, while practicing word research and hypothesis-driven spelling decisions.

Learning Outcomes

  • Analyze words by identifying phonemes, graphemes, and morphemes

  • Break words into bases, prefixes, and suffixes to understand spelling

  • Apply suffixing rules (e.g., changing y to i, dropping silent -e) using flowcharts

  • Use a scientific approach to form and test spelling hypotheses

  • Research word etymology to explain spelling patterns and silent letters
