SAIL (Survey & Sort, Analyze, Interpret, and Link) is an enhanced framework of word study, based on an existing framework of developmental spelling instruction (Ganske, 2013, 2016). Grounded in the comparing and contrasting of word patterns, SAIL supports teachers as they guide students to survey and sort pictures and/or words based on orthographic patterns; analyze their choices; interpret the patterns and how they promote orthographic knowledge; and link the patterns to other words outside of the lesson. Further, SAIL integrates academic vocabulary into word study lesson delivery, targeting vocabulary learning of both words from the lesson and general academic vocabulary. In this qualitative multi-case study, three first grade teachers attended a two-day professional development introducing the SAIL framework through hands-on activities, readings, and discussions. Teachers had existing knowledge of word study instruction and had been teaching spelling through word study for several years. Teachers were observed and videotaped as they delivered word study lessons implementing the SAIL framework. They also participated in initial and final interviews. Findings revealed that teachers implemented the SAIL framework in different ways with different levels of efficacy. Comparable to the SAIL framework, teachers also integrate academic vocabulary in different ways with different level of efficacy. For all teachers, little instructional change occurred throughout the study. However, when changes did occur, they had a positive impact on teacher instruction. 2019-10-25 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1563550835658114 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1563550835658114 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
