Didactical information
Many vowels that sound the same are represented with different letter combinations. It is a multifaceted undertaking to understand, learn, and be able to apply this securely.
For a good start to the exercises and as a program for the class, Module 7 on "Alternative Vowels” in the Guidebook is recommended. There, preliminary exercises and step-by-step exercise suggestions with carefully developed materials for discovering, understanding, and practicing complex vowel spelling are available.
As a preliminary exercise, we also recommend the pre-course "Rhythm" and Module 2 and 3 of the Guidebook on vowel spelling in general.
The exercise series we have prepared for your training encompass a wide range of vowel spelling topics. These exercises cover not only the vowels a, e, i, o, u in simple phonetic contexts but also in various phonetic environments such as the spelling of long vowels, digraphs and vowel+r.
Following that, the program prepared by SYSPELL not only provides diverse exercises but also a gradual deepening of the understanding of the rules. The exercise series are available as downloadable PDF documents.
They are scaled and developed in a progressive manner so that children can work with the materials autonomously. Keep track of the children's progress.
Please convey to the children that you expect a clean and tidy work process and appreciate neat handwriting! Legible handwriting is a basic requirement for children to be able to review their own work!
