The strategy is likely to be most effective in improving students' spelling of unit related vocabulary.

having them categorize and study new words by common features (eg. words with a common suffix such as taxation, revolution; words with a common root such as colony, colonial, colonizing)

showing them copies of original documents from the colonial period, having them identify words that have since changed spelling (eg. waggon, shoppe) and then having them analyze these spelling changes.
