The Resource – The Spelling Keyboard : 

The Resource – The Spelling Keyboard The image below displays an example of our resource – The Spelling Keyboard (scaled down to fit) – a laminated A4 sheet of paper with the QWERTY keyboard layout applied to the top half region.

Techniques : 

Techniques . The Spelling Keyboard process incorporates ones own efforts with an application of simple techniques designed specifically for the use of this resource for proven results. Point to and say aloud Technique: Point to and say aloud technique is achieved by pointing to each letter and saying each letter aloud. Finger Sliding Technique: Finger sliding technique is achieved by sliding your pointer finger between each letter on the Display Region of the resource.

Instructions - 1 : 

Instructions - 1 1) Using a whiteboard marker, accurately write the correct spelling of the word below the display region, as seen in our example below Display Region Region for word

Instructions - 2 : 

Instructions - 2 Break the word into syllables or chunks of 3-4 letters.

Instructions - 3 : 

Instructions - 3 Apply the Point to and Say Aloud Technique to the first group of letters of the word. Using calendar as the example; point to and say aloud the letters c, a & l. If necessary, repeat this technique until you accurately identify with each individual characteristic of each individual letter, its individual sound and its meaning.

Instructions - 4 : 

Instructions - 4 4) Apply the Finger Sliding Technique for the first group of letters on the Display Region. NB: repeat the Finger Sliding Technique until you memorise the pattern from the first letter of the word to the next whilst incorporating the Point to and Say Aloud Technique as your finger moves from one letter to the next. Performing The Finger Sliding Technique creates a mental pathway between the location of each letter of the word being learnt (much like mind mapping). This enables the student to retrace the created mental path they have encoded allowing them to recall each letter in the correct location at any time. The result is the correct spelling of the word. This technique is proven and is what makes this program work when followed and practiced. The QWERTY layout may be used as a reference point to assist in retracing the created mental path.

Instructions - 5 : 

Instructions - 5 Erase the first set of letters and proceed to repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 for each syllable/chunk until complete. Now, clearly write the learnt word beneath the Display Region while saying aloud each letter and using The Display Region as a reference point.

Why break word into chunks? : 

Why break word into chunks? The idea to break words into chunks or syllables stems from understanding the Primacy and Recency effects. It is understood, human learning is more effective at the beginning and end of a set of data. For example If you were to hear a list of 49 random letters in consecutive order and were then asked to recall them you would recall some from the beginning of the list, some from the end of the list but only a few if any at all from the middle. Primacy meaning words from the beginning of the list and Recency meaning the words from the end of the list. The idea is that each chunk or syllable of a word is one set of data. For example, the word calendar has three syllables, therefore three sets of data. This technique eliminates the possibility of forgetting the middle of the word as it no longer exists. In the 1950’s Harvard psychologist, George A. Miller put forth the ‘chunking’ principle which means breaking data into a digestible unit of information that contains no more than nine separate items of information.

Why the QWERTY layout? : 

Why the QWERTY layout? A fundamental of The Spelling Keyboard system is Association. Association is the method by which you link a thing to be remembered to a method of remembering it. Whatever can be used to link the thing being remembered, in this case new spelling words, with the image used to recall it, is the association image. In the Spelling Keyboard system the association image is the layout of the QWERTY keyboard. - The QWERTY layout is universally recognised therefore adaptable - Every word in the English spoken language can be found in and linked to QWERTY, therefore one is not limited - It will assist when students prepare for the use of an actual keyboard - The association image being the QWERTY layout serves as a reference point when recalling the correct spelling of words previously learnt using this method
