Connections to Reading Specialist Standards
Below is a list of TEKS for grades three-five that the spelling activities presented in this research project are linked to
and the elaboration of how they are linked to these TEKS.
As the teacher teaches spelling strategies within conferences, she will address the different techniques that are listed in
grade 3 110.5 16.A-G and grades 4 & 5 110.6 & 110.7 17. A-B. These are also a part of the patterns that the teacher will lead
the students to discover in the scientific/investigative approach. The students are given groups of words to fit one of the
concepts being taught and asked to find what they have in common in relationship to spelling.
Teaching them to use the dictionary, spell check, and peers as editor meets 16.H and 17.C.
Asking them to edit to prepare for publication meets 17.D. Giving them various sources for publishing and for an audience
gives them more reason to spell accurately in the final draft.
