Sequential Spelling Sample
Don't just take
AVKO's word for it:
Try the
Sequential
Spelling approach on your students
Follow these
directions carefully:
- Ask your class to spell:
beginning.
Let's start at the
beginning.
beginning. Tell your
students that all they have to do is put down
some of the letters they think might be in the
word beginning.
Collect the papers. You will want to compare
these misspellings with the spellings you will
get on the 5th and 6th days.
- Give the following tests
on separate but consecutive class days. You say
the word. Use it in a sentence. Give the word
again. Every student must at least attempt to
spell the word. After each student has tried and
before going to the next word- give the correct
spelling. Let each student correct his own
paper.

Nearly every student, no
matter what grade or how badly learning disabled,
will learn to read, write, and spell the word
beginning. Note:
Even the very gifted students can increase their
vocabulary because this program uses many words to
teach a few simple patterns.
