The Middle Column
The words in the seventh grade spelling lists below are the middle column in the three column method. The first column lists the words syllable by syllable phonetically. The third column lists the correct spelling and the number of letters per syllable. This method fosters independence in practicing the spelling. It also provides immediate feedback regarding errors made, as well as reinforces the student for each syllable spelled correctly.
