The research question addressed was, how do third grade students develop as proficient spellers and what instructional strategies most impact this development? The motivating factor for this capstone was the struggle with teaching spelling in the elementary classroom. This capstone includes research on spelling instruction, with findings of the need for teaching spelling developmentally. The key influences of this work were that of Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton, and Johnston (2004) from their series Words Their Way. The method of study was qualitative research, employing the curriculum framework of Wiggins and McTighe (1998). This capstone includes a curriculum, modeling what a week of spelling instruction could look like in a developmental spelling classroom.

This study investigated three methods for teaching children how to spell. Third grade students were divided into three conditions for a one-week training period consisting of 15- to 20-minute lessons. One of the two experimental conditions used a whole language approach along with explicit strategy instruction. The second condition used strategy instruction within a traditional setting. The control used strictly a whole language approach to le~ing hO\\l to spell. The spelling perfonnance of all three conditions improved after the one-week training period. However, students in the strategy instruction groups did significantly better on the study "'7ords than the whole language only group. The students in whole-Ianguage-plusstrateg)! instruction outperformed both other groups. Significantly better spelling perfonnance was observed even at the nine-week posttest. This study frrst supported the hypothesis that children can make significantly greater improven1ents in their spelling when explicitly taught how to use spelling strategies. Secondl)', this study indicated that whole language provided a relevant context for the study words, clearly giving the students in the whole-Ianguage-plus-strategy condition an additional advantage.

Graham J Spooner of The Sensible Tuition Company: I enjoyed reading through the 'tricks and tips' for how to develop your spelling. This is exactly the sort of thing that my students are asking me for advice on regularly -- and there are a lot of things in here that I think will be directly useable in lessons.
