Abstract Details

2018, Master of Arts, Wittenberg University, Education.
The purpose of this study was to examine how a students’ level of orthography, decoding ability, and reading accuracy change because of participating in developmentally appropriate spelling and phonics small group instruction. The intervention consisted of students being grouped based on the results of their Words Their Way Primary Spelling Inventory Feature Guide. Students would then work on specific phonics and spelling patterns during workshop time. The study was conducted in a first-grade classroom with 11 students. Data were collected from ten students and a quantitative method design was used. Measures included DRA2, Words Their Way Primary Spelling Inventory, and CORE Phonics Survey. Results indicated that there appears to be a relationship between small group instruction and the students’ ability to score higher on skills measuring orthography and decoding that they were exposed to during the intervention period. However, there does not seem to be a relationship between small group instruction and growth in reading accuracy.
