Spelling Analysis Directions
Unit 2 Lesson 10
Write students’ names in the column provided.
Place an X in the column of any word students did not spell correctly. If you
notice students are making errors in the medial vowel sounds of the words
in this list, you will want to examine those errors for patterns. For example,
is the student missing all of the /ae/ sounds? There are many worksheets in
the Pausing Point for practice. You may wish to target certain items or have
students complete the whole sheet with your guidance.
If students made errors on the word hopping by failing to double the final
consonant then you may need to review the short vowel followed by a
consonant rule with these students. After students see the pattern of only
one letter to make the short sound, then guide them through doubling the last
consonant to keep the vowel sound and adding the suffix –ing.
Other errors students may make is failing to drop the ‘e’ before adding in
the –ing. You will want to review the rules of long vowel spelling patterns with
students by using Pausing Point exercises.
