Interventions for Writing – Spelling

|Skill- Writing: spelling |

|Intervention – “Take a Good Look” |

|Source or adapted from - “Word Savvy” by Max Brand |

This lesson begins with the students looking at a list of three or four ways to misspell a frequently written word. I also include the correct spelling in the list.

I prompt the students by asking them to “look carefully at the list of words and write the correctly spelled word in your word study notebook. Underline that part of the word that is difficult for you to remember while writing this word.”

I circulate, noticing the students’ thinking. This is a good time to confer with a student who is having difficulty looking across a word and distinguishing where she is making spelling errors.

Once the students have done this, I underline the correct word. We then brainstorm words that have the same spelling feature and talk about how knowing and remembering the spelling of these words can help while writing the targeted word or with checking their spelling.

Once students are comfortable with these procedures, they write the correct spelling and the list independently. I usually emphasize two words during a “Take a Good Look” lesson.

Example:

separate

seporat

separate

separat
