Benefits of Spiral WarmUps

Using a consistent, daily spiral review can improve learning, boost retention, and increase results.

How does spiraling help learning?

How many times have you taught a lesson, and a week or two later, students act like they’ve never heard about the topic? Well, they’re not acting. The brain learns quickly, but it has difficulty recalling what it has learned. Ask me 60 seconds from now to recall what you taught, and I’ll make a 100! Ask me 60 days from now, and I might fail that exam!

This is even more true with word study…well, because it’s not the priority like reading comprehension is. State tests don’t demand it. But it is fundamental to reading comprehension and writing fluency! This is where spiraling comes in. With short, repeated exposure to skills and concepts the brain is scaffolded into recalling.

Over time, retention and comprehension deepen, and recall becomes easier! This is what we call fluency. With word study, fluency is vital. Reading depends on fluent decoding, fluent word recognition, and fluent meaning-making. This is why reading is a complex process. It’s also why spiral warm-ups make the process easier!

How do Spiral Warm-ups Increase Results?

As fluency increases, students can read faster. Faster reading makes comprehension easier. Also, fluency with vocabulary means students have richer networks of background knowledge to aid comprehension during reading.

Word study is so much more than just spelling words or phonics. Word study is fundamental to making the entire reading-writing process fluent! These word study warm-ups are differentiated by level. They span the following skills:

Consonant blends (initial, middle, and final)

Digraphs

Vowels sounds (short and long)

Vowel combinations

Word recognition and fluency building

Spelling patterns

Decoding multi-syllabic words

Word meanings and context clues

Greek and Latin Roots

Affixes

Academic Vocabulary
