The C. & G. Spelling Program.
Gengler, Charles R.; Gengler, Gail C.
Emphasizing correctness and spelling as a visual skill, this spelling program calls for an individualized format built around a mastery word list. The program recommends, in addition to the master word list of 100 words, that each student develop a personal word list consisting of at least 36 words that the student has misspelled on a delayed recall pretest. The program also makes use of the visual-imagery approach to spelling in the following way: (1) visualize/study the word; (2) close eyes and spell the word, preferably orally; (3) check the word; (4) if spelled incorrectly, return to step one, and if spelled correctly; then (5) write the word once; (6) check the word; and (7) if spelled incorrectly, return to step one, or if spelled correctly, study the next word or terminate study. Also included in the program is a week-by-week organizational plan, a chart comparing traditional spelling programs and the C. & G. program, and a discussion on using the personal word list in first grade. In addition, several frequently asked questions are answered regarding this program and its implementation. (An order form is appended.) (MM)
