Remember the basic instructions?
- Say the word/Say the rule
- Spell the word (write it down)
- Say the word again
- Look away
- Say it/Spell it/Say it--Check it
You will see slides with a spelling list word...
+ there will often be a spelling rule next to it
A) Looking at the screen, say the word out loud...notice the shape of the word, the number of letters, etc...then say the rule out loud...
B) Spell the word (don't just spell letters out loud)--very important: WRITE IT DOWN!
Looking at the screen while writing is not cheating...it is good...writing it properly helps imprint proper spelling in the automatic memory part of your brain...
C) Say the word out loud again when you are done writing it down correctly...
D) Now, look away from the screen, and turn your written word over so it can't be seen either...
E) Using a second sheet of paper, say the word out loud, then spell it by writing it down, then say it out loud one more time...
F) Check your spelling.
If correct, go to the next slide...
Important: if you made a mistake, fix it right away--say the correct letters as you write them down...try the word slide again starting at A)...you will immediately get stronger...

continent "e-n-t" is a common ending
- Spell the word (write it down)
- Say the word again
- Look away
- Say it/Spell it/Say it--Check it
REMEMBER:
That "e-n-t" ending can be seen in other words like "confident" or "independent"
It is a very common ending...
Unfortunately, the ending "a-n-t" is also very common...as in "contestant" or "assistant"
In the past, English speakers probably pronounced these two endings very clearly so that you could hear the proper vowel sound...
...but now we slur our sounds so that "assistANT" tends to sound like "assistENT" and so on—Aaaaarrrgggghhh!!
So, you are more or less forced to rely on memorization....
THE GOOD NEWS:
In smaller one-syllable words like tent, rent, bent, or pants, and rant, it is very easy to hear the "e" and "a" vowel sounds in order to choose the correct ending—yippee, kids!

- Then click on the link...
FUN FACT:
Notice that the word "con/tin/ent"
has 3 syllables...3 chunks...
Kind of like the word "continent" is built on three tectonic plates!
Say what? Tec–what?

frequency "q-u" makes a "kwa" sound
- Spell the word (write it down)
- Say the word again
- Look away
- Say it/Spell it/Say it--Check it
MEMORIZE IT:
Use syllable break it down skills to memorize this word...
Use miniature-cheer spelling to help as well...if Mr. Hunt hasn't taught you this yet, he soon will...!
BE AWARE:
The root word "frequent" fits with the "e-n-t" spelling pattern...
Frequency is a word that describes how often something happens, as in something happens regularly or over and over again — with great frequency.
Also, we will be using frequency in terms of the science of sound...
Frequency can mean how close together sound waves are traveling which affects how high or low the pitch of the sound is— more about this another time...

MEMORIZE IT:
Use syllable break it down skills...
TASK:
It is a scientific fact that all sounds are caused by vibrations...by waves traveling in up-and-down patterns through the air...
So, tell your spelling partner, or your family members at home, some of the ways that you can prove that all sounds are made of vibrations.
Think of times when you could hear a sound and see the vibrations that are causing the sound...
(Example: strumming guitar...strings vibrating...can hear music notes)
