First Writing Activities
Multiple genres presented at different levels to cater for the range in writing ability within the junior primary classroom
The development of writing is based on a student’s oral language ability. Students first need to hear models of well-constructed stories, news and sentences. They then need to be able to organise their language, sequence their ideas and link elements together to tell a story before it can be expected that they develop formal writing skills. At this early stage of writing development, it is accepted that a student’s oral language ability will exceed their writing ability. It is therefore expected that a student’s writing may be more limited than what they produce orally. This program incorporates opportunities for students to hear and experience various written forms followed by oral rehearsal before commencing the written task. Pictorial and/or visual support has also been incorporated to support each of the text structures included in the resource. First Writing Activities contains many genres including: Writing Words and Sentences – Label and Write, Simple Sentence and Building Sentence Tasks Writing Dictated Sentences – Writing a Dictated Sentence, Writing 2 – 3 Dictated Sentences and Writing 3 Connected Dictated Sentences Witten News – Object-Based, Activity Re-Tells and Event-Based News Tasks Story Retelling – Story Retell and Extension Tasks Generating Narrative from Picture Talks including Extension Activities Early Reports Poetry Personal Journals For the junior primary years, First Writing Activities features: Designed by speech pathologists for students in the junior primary. A large range of writing genres are designed to move students from ‘role-play’ writing into early phonetic writing and finally into writing with emerging conventional spelling. Short pictorially supported writing tasks that involve an adult providing an oral model, along with opportunities for students to orally rehearse the sentence(s). Three levels of templates are designed to cater for the range evident in junior primary classes (i.e. the delayed, age appropriate and advanced students). Literacy, language and motor assessment points at the base of each template. The programs within the range include: First Spelling Words – Set 1 First Spelling Words – Set 2 First Reading Words First Writing Activities This resource is mentioned in the Foundation Teaching Sequence Manual on page 9 & 10.

Spelling Activities for the Middle And Upper Primary
Synthetic phonics, vocabulary and writing activities.
The ability to read well is a basic skill and vital to national survival (Chall 1989). However, there have been ongoing concerns regarding the poor adult literacy rates since the introduction of whole language approaches to literacy development both within Australia and internationally. In 2004 these concerns led to a National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy (NITL) here in Australia. The results, published in 2005 recognised the importance of a systematic, synthetic phonics approach to reading instruction (Bowey 2006). These findings were independently echoed in the US and UK with recommendations that teaching of reading and spelling must include a synthetic phonics approach (Dooner 2010). As Joshi (2009) clearly outlines, one cannot teach what one does not understand, and it is therefore important that teachers understand synthetic phonics, the alphabetic code, phonological awareness and types of language and vocabulary and how these work together in the development of strong literacy skills. Spelling Activities for the Middle and Upper Primary is intended to provide a definition of synthetic phonics and related skills, an understanding of the importance of synthetic phonics, and practical suggestions for how to teach synthetic phonics within the classroom, in addition to specific spelling activities which are based on the principles of synthetic phonics and are ready to use with your students individually, within small groups or as part of whole-class activities. Features: Middle and Upper Primary spelling activities resource (which incorporates synthetic phonics and linguistic theory). Three levels of each template aim to cater for the range in ability (i.e. delayed, average and advanced students) evident in classrooms. The activity templates are ready to photocopy. A key resource when establishing a spelling program. Assessment points are located at the base of each sheet (for students, a peer or teachers to rate task performance). An ideal complement to PLD’s Phonic Sight Word Sequence. This publication is mentioned within the Whole School Literacy Strategy booklet on page 22. Other programs within the range include: Spelling Activities for the Junior Primary Spelling Activities are also available within the Time-Savers range: Structured Synthetic Phonics Time-Savers Stage 1 & 2 Structured Synthetic Phonics Time-Savers Stage 3 & 4 Structured Synthetic Phonics Time-Savers Stage 5 & 6 Full Set of Structured Synthetic Phonics Time Savers

Teach a Child to Spell in 3 Steps
Targeting alphabet sounds, phonemic segmentation and CVC spelling
Single word spelling involves three primary base skills: Visual Skills: The recognition of the alphabet symbol and the conversion of this symbol into a sound (ie: Not letter name). Auditory Skills: The phonemic awareness skill of blending three sounds (or phonemes) together to form a word. Fine Motor Skills: The formation or handwriting of the symbols. The following example illustrates the establishment of early spelling ability. To spell the word ‘sun’ a student must: Apply phonemic awareness skills and identify the initial sound ‘s’, retrieve the symbol ‘s’ from the visual memory and then form or write the letter ‘s’. The student must again apply phonemic awareness skills and identify the medial sound ‘u’, retrieve the ‘u’ from the visual memory and then write the letter ‘u’. The final step requires the phonemic awareness skill of identifying the final ‘n’ sound then retrieving from the visual memory the ‘n’ symbol and finally write the ‘n’. Once this spelling process has been rehearsed the students can typically spell the word automatically and often through the application of letter names ‘s-u-n’. Students will typically read better than they will spell. This is because the recognition of the words (i.e. reading) is typically much easier than the reproduction of the letter sound correspondences to formulate the words. It is common for students to require repeated targeted spelling practice, in order to master skills. The other programs within the range include: Teach a Child to Spell in 3 Steps Teach a Child to Read in 3 Steps This publication is mentioned within the Year 1 & 2 Teaching Sequence Manual on page 19.
