Spelling Cheerleading: Integrating Movement and Spelling Generalizations
This lesson teaches the spelling generalization for adding suffixes to words that end with the letter y. Using the technique of spelling cheerleading, this lesson integrates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities to meet the needs of all learners. Students "cheer" new words based upon the formation of each letter. Students also have the opportunity to apply their understanding of the y generalization in small groups through word sorts and the creation of a group book.
