Make Sense of Spelling

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Make Sense of Spelling instructional video also includes:
  • Assessment
  • Join to access all included materials

Help your pupils comprehend how words are put together. The video takes the history of words into consideration as the narrator investigates the word one and words related and connected to one. Using an onion as a metaphor, the video clearly describes how spelling can help make meaning. The video does use some linguistic terminology; however, the concepts are still clear enough without knowledge of those terms.
