English is a compounding language in which root words are modified (changed in meaning) by adding prefixes and suffixes. The rules of the spelling game change at this level - and attention shifts to the syllable unit and spellings for prefixes and suffixes. This new knowledge makes a profound difference in reading and spelling skills, and dramatically enhances reading comprehension and vocabulary.Lessons begin with simple compounding of common English words (doghouse, sunset), and gradually build to include Latin and Greek-based words up to 6 syllables in length. For example: 'inform' (a verb) can be changed to a noun by adding the suffix 'shun' spelled: tion a suffix used in thousands of words. It has three common spellings: information, aggression, optician, and four rare ones. Once the student learns when these spellings are used (ÔcianÕ always marks an occupation), difficult words suddenly become easy to read and spell. Long 'scary' words like: 'determination' can be broken down to easily decodable units: de/ter/min/a/tion. Once these patterns are understood, students as young as 8 years can learn to read and spell thousands of new words in a just a few lessons.Allographs II Manual contains 59 partially scripted lessons. Sample lessons for the higher levels of the code provide a platform for continuing development using the Student Workbook/Dictionary. Both components are essential to teach this program effectively.
The Student Workbook provides exercises and a special Dictionary to teach how syllables are compounded in multi-syllable words, as well as the spelling patterns used in a variety of prefixes and suffixes.Over 3,000 multi-syllable words are included in the lessons.Lessons proceed in the following order: This is an ordered list.The nature of compounding using whole words: 'sunset' 'firefly'.Root word transformations for adding ing, and ed.Turning verbs into persons by adding er.Changing common root words (nouns or verbs) to other parts of speech: 'bright' - brighten, brighter, brightest, brightly.Reading and spelling words with adjacent vowel sounds: 'po/et' 'ra/di/o' - 'o/a/sis, vi/o/lent.Common prefixes and their meaning: de, re, pre, pro, be, e, im, in, em, en.Suffixes spelled alike but pronounced differently, such as: machine, refine, famine.The spelling of the 'schwa'* vowel at the beginning and ends of words: a/bout, a/gend/aThe spellings for 'schwa' vowels in the middle of words: redundant, benefit, hesitate, collect, industry.A Dictionary of 2,000 words with spelling alternatives for Old French, Latin, and Greek-based suffixes.Latin root words and definitions.
