English has one of the most complex orthographic systems of all the
alphabetic languages. This text is a comprehensive resource for
teachers of spelling across the age range, for general use in the
teaching of spelling, for teachers of learners with dyslexia and
for teachers of English as a foreign or additional language. It
enables teachers to plan intervention to meet the individual needs
of learners through structured testing and provides them with
groups of related words for use in teaching.
The manual, which is introduced by a chapter on the teaching of
spelling, is divided into five sections: "Testing" - graded lists
of words for testing spelling knowledge, with parallel lists for
monitoring consolidation of learning; "Vowels" - word lists for use
in teaching, covering all the vowel sounds of English and their
related spelling patterns; "Consonants" - a similiar section
covering all the consonant sounds and their related spelling
patterns; "Homophones and Silent Letters"; and "Word Structure" - a
section covering the more complex orthographic rules with lists of
words for use in teaching.
There are page references throughout the manual and a complete
word index at the end of the book, so teachers should have no
difficulty in finding individual words.
