NSW Outcomes:

EN2-SPELL-01 selects, applies and describes appropriate phonological, orthographic and morphological generalisations and strategies when spelling in a range of contexts.

By the end of this unit, students will:

• Explain how to segment multisyllabic words into syllables and phonemes, and apply this knowledge when spelling
• Recognise stressed and unstressed syllables in multisyllabic words and apply this knowledge when spelling
• Understand that the schwa occurs in an unstressed syllable and apply this knowledge when spelling
• Understand that some graphemes are dependent on their position in a word in English and apply this knowledge when spelling
• Understand that graphemes can be explained by their etymology (SpG9)
• Identify inflected suffixes, explaining when and how to treat base words when they are affixed, and apply this knowledge when spelling (SpG9)
• Identify derivational suffixes such as -able, -ness, -ian and -ment, explaining when and how to treat base words when they are affixed, and apply this knowledge when spelling (SpG9)
• Correctly spell taught homophones when creating written texts (SpG9)
  

This resource isn’t just for NSW teachers - it’s fully aligned with the Australian Curriculum Version 9 too! The bundle also includes a complete unit of work with outcomes matched to the Australian Curriculum.

Australian Curriculum Outcomes:

AC9E3LY09 understand how to apply knowledge of phoneme–grapheme (sound–letter) relationships, syllables, and blending and segmenting to fluently read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter patterns
AC9E3LY10 understand how to apply knowledge of common base words, prefixes, suffixes and generalisations for adding a suffix to a base word to read and comprehend new multimorphemic words
AC9E3LY11 use phoneme–grapheme (sound–letter) relationships and less common letter patterns to spell words
AC9E3LY12 recognise and know how to write most high-frequency words including some homophones
AC9E4LY09 understand how to use and apply phonological and morphological knowledge to read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter combinations, including a variety of vowel sounds and known prefixes and suffixes
AC9E4LY10 understand how to use knowledge of letter patterns, including double letters, spelling generalisations, morphological word families, common prefixes and suffixes, and word origins, to spell more complex words

By the end of this unit, students will:

• understanding how to use knowledge of prefixes to change the meaning of a base word; for example, “undone”, “remove” and “misunderstand”
• using generalisations for adding a suffix to a base word to form a plural or past tense; for example, to make a word plural when it ends in “ss”, “sh”, “ch” or “z”, add “es”
• using phonic knowledge and knowledge of letter patterns to spell words with 3-letter blends; for example, “str-ip”
• using context and syntactic knowledge to spell homophones; for example, “break” or “brake” and “ate” or “eight”
• recognising unstressed vowels in multisyllabic words and how these vowel sounds are written; for example, “builder” and “animal”
• using phonic and morphemic knowledge to read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter combinations; for example, “straightaway” and “thoughtful”
• building morphemic word families and exploring word origins; for example, "tricycle", "tripod" and "triangle"
