Spelling Strategy

Steps for Spelling New Words
This is one strategy that you can use to learn any new spelling word. It has six steps.
Step 2
Spell the word
aloud.

Step 3
Think about the spelling.
Is there anything special to
remember?

Step 4
Picture the word with your
eyes shut.

Step 5
Look at the word
and write it.

Step 6
Cover the word. Picture it
and write it again. Check
its spelling. Did you get it
right?

© Pearson Education

Step 1
Look at the word. Say it


and listen to the sounds.

Spelling Strategy

Problem Parts
Everybody has words that are hard to spell. When you find such
a word, it is a good time to use the Problem Parts strategy.
One of the words you will learn is mitten. The word mitten has
a sound in the middle, but this sound is spelled with not just
one t but with two. That is tricky! Here are steps to follow in
the Problem Parts strategy.

Step 1
Ask yourself which part
of the word is giving
you a problem.

Step 2
Write the word and
underline the problem
part.

Step 3
Picture the word. Focus
on the problem part.

You might want to picture
the problem part in
large letters to help you
remember.

© Pearson Education

Now picture the word and see the problem part before
you spell it.

Spelling Strategy

Divide and Conquer
Long words can be hard to spell. If you divide them into smaller
parts, you can conquer them. Here is how to use the Divide and
Conquer strategy.
Compound Words

Words with Affixes

Words with
Many Syllables

Step 1
Say the word slowly and listen for each part or syllable.

Step 2
Use these pictures to help you divide each kind of long word.

© Pearson Education

Step 3
Study the word one part or one syllable at a time.

Spelling Practice Book


Spelling Strategy

Meaning Helpers
Even a short word like thrown can be hard to spell—until you discover
where it comes from. This is where the Meaning Helper strategy can
be used.

Try to find shorter words with similar meanings that can help you spell
the longer words. Here are some examples:
Longer Word
every
health

Meaning Helper
ever
heal


Clue
ever + y
heal + th

© Pearson Education

You don’t hear the second e when you say every, but you do hear
it when you say ever. Ever is a meaning helper for every because
a sound clue in ever helps you spell every.

Spelling Strategy

Memory Tricks
Some words may have a part that gives you problems. You can use the
Memory Tricks strategy to help you with tricky word parts. Study this example.
Step 1
Ask yourself: Which part of the word gives me trouble?
Then mark the letters that are problems for you.

slaygh
sleigh
sliegh

Step 2
Find memory helpers—words or phrases

you already can spell—that have the same
letters.

weigh,
we ignore him,
eight

Step 3
Create a memory trick by linking your word with
a memory helper that helps you remember it.

Eight deer sat
in the sleigh.

© Pearson Education

If your memory trick can be made into a picture, think about that picture as
you say the trick to yourself. This can be an extra helper. And silly helpers
are just as good as serious helpers!

Spelling Practice Book


Spelling Strategy

Pronouncing for Spelling
We spell some words wrong because we say them wrong. Say a word very
carefully to hear all of its sounds. This is called the Pronouncing for Spelling

strategy.

Step 1
Say the word slowly and
carefully. Listen to the
sound of each letter.

Step 2
Say the word again
as you write it.

© Pearson Education

You can also change the way you secretly say a tricky sound.
To remember the o-u-r and the a-g-e in courage, you might
secretly pronounce the word like this: c-our-age. That means you
would say the sound made by c, then the word our and then the
word age. It won’t make sense to anyone else, but you will know
that you are using the Pronouncing for Spelling strategy.

Roof Rally
By Dan Green
Most days I idmire that little rascle, the

busy. Its usual costum is to keep busy
burying food all day long. On one recent day
a squirrel decided to take a break. He brought
twenty of his cusins and held a rally on my

over the gutter and ran away. It was good to
