摘要
The purpose of this study was to examine the potential influence of analogy instruction on students' spelling behavior. Analogy instruction helps students learn how to use common rimes (i.e., -ent, -ight, -at) strategically to identify and spell unfamiliar words. Instruction was conducted in a second-grade classroom and integrated into the reading/language arts program. We selected 9 students of varying ability and examined their writing samples and oral reading miscues with the goal of qualitatively analyzing their responses to the analogy instruction. Results indicated that all 9 students increased their use of an analogy spelling strategy over the course of the school year. Our findings suggest that analogy instruction can be integrated successfully into a rich reading language arts curriculum that can support students' reading and writing development simultaneously.
