A Short History of the AVKO Foundation

AVKO is a non-profit tax-exempt membership organization founded in 1974.

AVKO is subsidized by donations and grants and is open to membership to anyone interested in helping others learn to read and write.

AVKO is run by a board of directors elected by the membership.

AVKO’s daily operations are handled by volunteers.

AVKO hopes to spread the concept that ordinary adults can be trained in adult community education courses to become successful tutors of their children (or spouses) who have reading/spelling problems.

AVKO provides newsletters and economical opportunities for members to pursue individual research projects and to take part in large scale cooperative research projects that have immediate practical applications.

AVKO is attempting to accomplish these goals primarily through the profits generated by the sale of services and special materials developed for the special needs of students, parents, and adults.

Beliefs Shared by Most AVKO Members 1. The natural way of learning is immediate self-correction of mistakes.

2. Every child can learn to read at least as well as the child can speak.

3. We should use common sense when it comes to following frequency word counts so that we can teach related words together. For example, when we teach the word nice we should teach ice, lice, slice, rice, price, dice, mice, etc.

4. Creating sequences based on frequency counts leads to such nonsense as the following:

Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 & up

funny ..............fun away...............way nice................. .......................ice pink ................ .......................ink smile............... ....................... .......................mile table................ ....................... .......................able yellow ............ ....................... .......................yell .................low still ................. ....................... ....................... .......................ill black............... ....................... ....................... .......................lack 5. Although there isn’t just one correct way of teaching reading and/or spelling, both teachers and

students are helped by a systematic approach.

Origin of The Patterns of English Spelling

(Earlier editions were called Word Families) In the fall of 1968 I was teaching reading at Northwestern High School in Flint, Michigan. My

favorite technique to help students unlock words was by what we now call chunking. For example, if a student couldn’t read the word advice, I would have him write the “chunk” ice and then keep changing ice to words such as rice, lice, slice, vice, and finally the word advice.

ice ice ice rice ice price ice lice ice slice ice vice ice advice

One day, a student asked me for help on reading the word technique. My mind went blank. I couldn’t think of a single -ique word. Now, I don’t like to be embarrassed. But, I was lucky. I was saved by the bell ending the class and the school day. I rushed down to see Wilton Slocum, the Assistant Principal for Instruction. I explained to him my problem. I just had to have a book in which I could just look up any word family that I needed. Since the concept of word families is ancient, there just had to be a reference work that contained them all. He agreed. He also agreed to find one and purchase it for me. However, he never got the book for me because no such book had ever been written. In the process of complaining about my problem in the teachers’ lounge, one of the teachers said, “McCabe, you’re a linguist. You have a whole summer off. Why don’t you write one yourself?”

You might say that The Patterns of English Spelling came about as a result of a combination of ignorance and stubbornness. I was ignorant enough to think that I could do it in a summer’s time. I was stubborn enough to keep working at it for almost 30 years. The way I started was by first creating a periodic table of English phonograms so I could go about it systematically.

I first laid out the fourteen1 vowel phonemes across the top of a sheet of paper using my own notation. Then I began laying out all the consonant endings in alphabetical order to form a matrix.

Long Vowels out law Roy cook2 Short Vowels AY EE YH OH OO OW AW OY uu A E I AH U (UH) b Abe plebe tribe robe tube --- daub --- --- cab web rib rob rub b bee baby Phoebe --- Toby ruby --- --- --- --- cabby Debby Libby Bobby chubby bee bul table feeble Bible noble ruble --- --- foible --- babble --- dribble bobble bubble bul bur caber --- --- --- goober --- --- --- --- jabber webber --- bobber lubber bur

Then it was just a matter of filling in the matrix with sample words, making cards, filing cards, ad nauseum. But making the map convinced me that English has an amazing regularity in its patterns.

1Linguists do not agree among themselves as to what constitutes a vowel, how many there are, or how best to represent them. So I devised a system I thought most teachers could understand without having to take a course in linguistics. 2We call the four middle vowels the Outlaw Roy Cook vowels for OW AW OY and uu.

Other Materials Developed from The Patterns of English Spelling

Sequential Spelling This is the only spelling program ever designed in which teachers have nothing to correct and

students have nothing to study! And it works! But don’t take AVKO’s word for it. You can try it yourself using the first six days of Sequential Spelling below. Ask your class to spell the word beginning as in: Let’s start at the beginning. Collect their papers. Then, on the 5th day, compare their spellings of the word beginning which they never studied with their spelling of the word beginning on the first day.

Give the following tests on separate but consecutive class days. You say the word. Use it in a sentence. Give the word again. Each student must attempt to spell the word. After each student has tried and BEFORE going to the next word, give the correct spelling and have each student correct his own spelling.

1st Day 2nd Day 3rd Day 4th Day 5th Day 6th Day 1. in in thin thins thinned thinning 2. pin pins pinned pinning thinner thinnest 3. sin sins sinned sinning sinner sinners 4. spin spins an inn spinning spinner spinners 5. kin shin shins chin chins chinned 6. skin skins skinned skinning Mr. Skinner Mrs. Skinner 7. win wins winning winner winners tin 8. twin twins inner bees bee be 9. tin be inning innings inn inns 10. fin fins begin begins beginning beginnings There are 7 levels of Sequential Spelling with 180 daily tests for each level.

The Patterns of English Spelling as Homework Teachers can make homework assignments using words containing specific patterns (rimes that

rhyme). For example, Alfred E. Neumann on his dictation exercise misspelled the word robbed as robed. So the teacher referred him to page 104 of this book. Following the teacher’s direction of only copying words he knows, he copied:

Bob bob bobs bobbed bobbing cob cobs gob gobs slob slobs blob blobs mob mobs snob snobs sob sobs sobbed sobbing Alfred didn’t copy the words formed from lob, fob, knob, and throb because he wasn’t sure of

the meanings. When Alfred went home at night, he took the list with him. Right after supper, he set the timer for fifteen minutes and began writing.

Bob I like Bob. I like Bob’s car better. bob I don’t like to bob for apples. bobs His Adam’s apple bobs up and down when he talks. bobbed bobbing I hate bobbing for apples. cob I love corn on the cob. cobs gob gobs I wish I had gobs and gobs of money. Alfred couldn’t put all the words into sentences. He didn’t have time to. The assignment was to

write as many sentences as he can in fifteen minutes. Each night he is to try to write a little more. Now, these sentence-writing exercises are not going to teach Alfred how to write paragraphs, short stories, poems, term papers, etc. However, he will learn how to write sentences and usually it is rather difficult to write good paragraphs, short stories, and term papers if you have never learned to write sentences. We believe in first things, first.

Page 6: Index for The Patterns of English Spelling Volumes 1-10

These sentences will tend to be original—not something copied from a book or magazine. It also has the effect of helping students discriminate between words such as hop, hops, hopped, and hopping as well as hope, hopes, hoped, and hoping. They must learn to use the third person singular whether or not they have the vaguest idea of the differences between first, second and third person singular or plural. The past tense has to be used, and they will use it.

We recommend that the homework be daily, if only for 15 minutes. Now, it is true that Alfred may cheat and only write for ten minutes instead of fifteen. But ten minutes a day writing is better than none. And the point is to have the students write as much as possible as often as possible. The idea is quantity not quality in a limited time span.

The reason for quantity over quality is that this technique frees up the student’s computer-brain so that the student can spill words onto paper nearly as fast as he can spill words from his mouth. Once students have achieved mastery over sentence fluency, then they will be ready to begin the more complicated compositional skills. But if students can’t write simple sentences, they can’t write paragraphs or themes.

Another advantage of sentence assignments based on words the students are studying is that it gives the students an extra opportunity to use the words they are learning. It also makes it extremely easy for the teacher to check.

Notice—I said check, not correct. There is no need to correct the sentences. Check the paper by writing the date in big letters with a felt marker as it is handed in. This prevents the con artist from trying to keep handing in the same paper over and over again. If you have the students keep their homework papers in their folders, you will eventually have the opportunity to review these papers with the students individually at their desks and be able to show them their progress (or lack thereof) and to work with them on their individual problems.

The reason for this is simple. Most students never learn a thing from papers that are handed back days or weeks later. Most students learn when they are watching their teacher correct their paper. This also affords them the opportunity right there and then to either challenge your correction or be taught how to avoid the mistake that they made.

But enough. You are the teacher. You know your students. You know what they need to learn. The Patterns of English Spelling will allow you to find whatever word list you want for whatever reason you want to use it. You don’t have to use all the words in any of these lists. Use just those words you want to use.

Special Notations Concerning the Format At the bottom of almost all the pages that contain word lists, there will occur most of the following:

• Dolch Words • Difficulty Levels on Scale of 1.00 to 21.00: • Spelling Demons: • Homophones: • Heteronyms: • Related Families • Other Related Words

Dolch Words: These words are those found by E. W. Dolch1 to comprise the most basic of all sight vocabularies. The validity of these words as a basic list has withstood the test of time. However, as most of these words contain phonically regular patterns, we believe that they should not be taught in isolation but rather with words of similar patterns.

Difficulty Levels on Scale of 1.00 to 21.00: The levels are based upon an analysis of The New Iowa Spelling Scale2 In this study, a total of 5,507 key words were given in spelling tests to over 230,000 students in 645 school systems scattered across the country in November, 1953. They study listed the percentages of the students in grades 2 through 8 who could correctly spell the words. For example, Percent AVKO correctly 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Difficulty spelling Level grab 05 17 38 52 67 77 78 07.05 grabbed 01 10 16 30 39 52 14.15 grace 01 19 48 65 84 88 92 04.55 gracious 02 12 21 38 58 14.55

Because percentage figures can be misleading and often serve as the target to reach rather than to surpass, we converted the average of the 5th through 8th grade percentages to a 20 point scale having 1.00 being the easiest—that is, known by over 99.50% of middle school students. The theoretical 0% was set at 21.00. This one scale becomes applicable to all types of schools and all types of students. No matter what the percentage of students in expensive private school X correctly spell the words seat (3.70), scatter (9.50), electricity (13.45), or initial (17.45), as compared to a college freshman English class or a ghetto public school, the relative rankings of these words will remain the same. That is, the word seat will be the easiest and the word initial the hardest of the four example words. As to the grade level of any particular word, our rule of thumb is to divide the difficulty level by two and the result is approximately the grade level.

Spelling Demons: These are words that appeared on one or more of four separate lists entitled “Spelling Demons.” One list was that of Edward Fry’s3. Another was the list found in the Random House Dictionary of the English Language. Yet another was a secretarial list published by Quali-dex and the last was George W. Feinstein’s list used for his college text, Programmed Spelling Demons. The total number of demons came up to over 2,000 because there is very little agreement among the experts as to

which words are demons. We listed them mainly so that teachers, if they desired, could give special emphasis to these words.

Homophones: These are words that are pronounced the same as each other but which differ in meaning and/or spelling as in heir, air, and sometimes err. We also extend the meaning to include words that have two spellings such as color (American) and colour (British). Se British Spellings below. Because in our language we may have two or more words pronounced the same but spelled differently, we have elected to present the homophones for any member of any family so that a teacher may —if she/he chooses to—teach the homophone. If a teacher elects to call homophones, homonyms, we do not object. Homophones is the term of choice in a technical context which we consider this book to be. Homonyms is more frequently the term of choice in a non-technical context such as an elementary school spelling text.

Homographs: These are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and different origins. For example, the word bat (a club) and bat (a flying mouse) are homographs as are batter (the man with the bat in baseball), batter (as in cake or pancake dough before it is cooked), or batter (as in to beat up a person). To save space we ignore them—inasmuch as we assume a good teacher will point out how words change in meaning according to the context they are in.

Heteronyms: These are words that are spelled the same but have different pronunciations. Common examples are lead and lead. One rhymes with seed and the other with bed

Related Families: We list only the very nearest relatives. For example, for the AB CAB family we only listed the EB WEB, IB FIB, OB BOB, and UB RUB families. Close cousins would be listed as other related families. See below.

Other Related Families: These are usually words with structural suffixes such as -er, -le, -y, -en, -ment, -tion, -ive, etc. For example, under the -AT BAT family, we have references to the -ATTER BATTER, -ATTLE BATTLE, -ATTY BATTY and -ATTEN BATTEN families.

Censorship: We freely admit to having censored some words, especially those found on bathroom walls. We also left out words that we feel are extremely arcane or archaic such as araucaria or argal but left in a useless word such as anhungry just because it’s one of the three words in English that end -gry. (Angry and hungry are the other two.)

British Spellings: Whenever possible, we indicate where American spellings and British spellings part company. For example, color is American but colour is British. Encyclopedia is American. Encylopaedia is British. If we have inadvertently omitted making the distinctions on some words—please inform us. We like to hear from those who use our materials. And we do want to correct the mistakes that are in this edition. And we know that despite spell check and proofreaders. There will be errors.

Pronunciation: Out of the myriad methods of denoting pronunciation we chose to use the method used by most writers when they write dialect or try to make sure that the reader correctly pronounces a word. Whenever we had any doubt as to a word’s pronunciation, we chose to use The Random House Dictionary of the English Language, Second Edition, Unabridged as our arbiter. We gave the pronunciations not because we felt that teachers need to know how to pronounced the word families—but so that they would have at their disposal a method of making spelling exercises and/or word cards using the pronunciations given as a guide. For example, using these pronunciation guides, a teacher could construct exercises such as the following: “RAP’t” The man ________________ three times on the door. Correct response: rapped. “PRESH shus” Little children are ____________________ . Correct response: precious.

Other Related Families: These are usually words with structural suffixes such as -er, -le, -y, -en, -ment, -tion, -ive, etc. For example, under the -AT BAT family, we have references to the -ATTER BATTER, -ATTLE BATTLE, -ATTY BATTY and -ATTEN BATTEN families.

Word Selection Finding words that belong to families is not easy. You can’t just look them up in a dictionary unless you can find a dictionary that lists all the words in reverse alphabetical order. The closest to that is The English Word Speculum compiled by J. L. Dolby and H. L. Resnikoff and published by Mouton & Company, The Hague, Paris in 1964. Unfortunately, this work is hopelessly flawed. However, we did find that it had some words we didn’t have in our first few editions. We found many that we had that they didn’t. Basically, we went through the dictionary sorting the words by families, but omitting those we felt were too arcane or archaic or politically incorrect.

Grade Levels Word families (or rimes, if you insist on using the latest jargon) don’t come in grade levels. This series of volumes is constructed so that teachers in any grade from kindergarten to university can easily find examples of words that follow whatever linguistic principle is being taught in their particular textbook. There is nothing to prevent a third grade teacher from teaching some of the pre-words in Volume 10, words such as prevent, pretend, and even predict.

Challenging the “Gifted” Children Certainly the gifted children may be challenged by the “difficulty” of learning the meanings of some of the words in the books such as eschew obfuscation. They also may be challenged by learning how to correctly spell words that they only think they know how to spell. For example—the two italicized words are misspelled in the following phrase: Eat your vittles or I’ll sing the scale, do re me fa so la ti do! The correct spellings: victuals and sol. See the last part of Volume 5 with its listing of insane words.

Questions to be answered by Curriculum Designers Does your K-2 curriculum cover all the concepts in volumes 1-6? Does your 3-8 curriculum cover the concepts in volumes 7-10?

From our analyses of curricula used by over 90% of public schools, the concepts in volumes 7-10 are conspicuous by their absence not only in our schools but our universities as well.

21 Using the Alphabetic Index as a Teaching Tool

The very first thing that impresses most people about the index is its size. Over 70 pages, four columns to a page all in fine (8 pt) print. And it only represents about 1% of all the words that a well-educated person can read! Phonics advocates should be quick to use this just to point out the impossibility of teaching a person to read using the look-say method if each word has to be taught separately. But that, of course, will not convince a dyed-in-the-wool whole language enthusiast that phonics need ever be taught. They “know” that they learned to read without phonics. They have taught children and maybe even adults to read without phonics. And so it goes. Arguments rarely, if ever, change a person’s mind. But perhaps, both sides will agree that upon inspection of the index and the patterns as they are laid out in this book, that the English language has patterns that the good reader has learned perhaps without even being taught. Poor readers, on the other hand, find it difficult to read words that contain patterns that they haven’t been taught.

To demonstrate this concept, have both good readers and poor readers read the following passage and then have them read the two word lists that follow. Good readers will correctly read all the words and will understand the passage. Poor readers (below 6.0 but above 3.0) will have difficulty reading and understanding the passage. They will read the words in list A which contain regular phonic patterns usually taught and easily learned. The second list has words that contain phonic patterns rarely taught and not easily learned by many students without special help.

Sh-h-h is spelled sh in fisherman but not in the word crucial Washington was no fisherman but he was in a boat. He led his militia to a

smashing victory over all the king’s men. It was atrocious the way his physicians finished him off. He was so weak at the end, he initialed his orders rather than signing them. It certainly was crucial to the war effort for his shipping to get through. LIST A Washington fisherman smashing finished shipping LIST B militia atrocious physicians initialed crucial

Supposing a student can’t read any of the words in List A, should you test on list B? Not unless you believe in torturing students. Supposing a student misses only the word smashing in List A but misses all the words in List B, what should you do? What can you do? Well, you can look smashing up in the index. It refers you to page 209. It has 25 words with the -ash pattern from ashes to smasher. In the power vocabulary section it has an additional 63 words from brash to old-fashioned. You don’t have to teach him all these words. Teach whatever words and however many words you feel is right and use the methods you are most comfortable with. The patterns are there. They can be taught specifically or they can be discovered by the students themselves by inspection or usage.

As far as teaching the words in List B is concerned, I would teach the patterns first. I would start with the -ous words such as nervous, tremendous, stupendous, etc. They are found from pages 884-891. You might want to show your students how many there are, but

Page 20: Index for The Patterns of English Spelling Volumes 1-10

22 don’t ever try to teach them all. Just teach the common everyday -ous words from humorous to jealous. Then I would teach the ci digraph and show how it combines with -al to form the shul sound in racial, special, commercial, etc. Then show how it combines with -ous to form “shus” words such as delicious, vicious, gracious, ferocious, and malicious. Then I would teach the ti digraph which they intuitively know because they know all about the shun words spelled -tion. What they never realized is that the sh sound of -tion was ti and the un sound was on. Now, when they add al to ti to get -tial they know it’s “shul” as in partial, martial, initial etc. Then the relationship between ambitious and ambitions is more apparent, even though the initial appearance of the two words is almost identical. The word ambitious has the ti + ous pattern, while the word ambitions has the tion pattern plus s.

Using the Alphabetic Index as a Rhyming Dictionary Play at poet, I know it. Rimes for the times and rhymes that are crimes. Jingles for singles.

Whys for the wise are all writing, spelling, and even thinking activities that lead students into enjoying the learning of language and the playing with words. You can take any word, look it up in the index and find words that share the same pattern. You will also find reference to other pages where there is a different spelling pattern for the same sound—hence it functions as a rhyming dictionary. Look up the word past and you will find a reference to the page where you can find the -assed family. At last we were passed past the guard.
