[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe it is call Word Study. In our school they separate the kids in classes according to ability. It takes a week or two to do assessments of the kids. Last week they had words but with their home room teacher. This week is the first week they were separated into different classes with their words[/quote] Word Study is not the same as traditional spelling. Word Study is memorization of words- no deductive methods taught, no rules. Traditional spelling teaches kids how deductive methods of spelling and spelling rules which kids can use towards spelling of words that that are unfamiliar to them. The rote memorization works for passing the test. Most kids then quickly forget the spelling. The memorized it to regurgitate it then cleared the inbox for the next set of words. [/quote]
