Wild Tales
Wild Tales continues your student’s journey through the Skill Development stage. For the first seven weeks, your student will continue to work with the nursery rhyme theme from Jack and Jill before transitioning into nonfiction passages about animals beginning in Lesson 8. If you’re beginning your Spelling you See program on the Wild Tales level, you will want to take a little more time with the first few lessons in order to become familiar with this unique approach.
In Wild Tales, your child:
- Reads interesting nonfiction passages about animals
- Reads the passage with the instructor each day. Guided reading helps readers of all ability levels become familiar with the passage
- “Chunks” the appropriate letter patterns indicated for that day’s lesson
- Will have opportunities for copywork, free writing, and writing from dictation throughout the week
Wild Tales provides opportunities for students to study words in the context of factual passages about animals. Students mark various letter patterns, copy passages, and produce their own compositions or drawings. They also practice writing the passages from dictation with assistance. This level is for a student who knows letter sounds and can spell many common words correctly.
