Teaching Tips for Syllable Savvy Spelling Lists

Each lesson has 15 words, with space for five more words individualized to the student. These five words might include:
- Words misspelled in previous lessons
- Words misspelled in the students creative writing
- Words from science or other unit studies
Familiarize the student with the common patterns that words end in. In this case "ow" at the end of a word, and single and double consonants before "ing" is added at the end.
Twenty of the most common spelling rules are included in the appendix in the back of the Syllable Savvy Spelling books. Students often find it helpful to group words using similar spelling rules.

Word Themes

Each level has a different theme. "Common household words" is the theme for Level 3.
