The CCC process can be described as looking at the stimulus, covering the stimulus, copying the stimulus, and comparing the written copy to the original stimulus. If the response and stimulus match, the student moves onto the next item. If the response doesn’t match, the student writes the correct response a set number of times (once or multiple times) (Jaspers et al., 2011). Immediate self-evaluative feedback and daily practice are some of the components of the CCC intervention that prove to be effective. The immediate corrective feedback on performance is found to be more effective than standard spelling approaches that involve practice without checking. Educators can also use flow word lists which can be tested daily, and once a word is spelled correctly a set number of times it can be removed from the list and replaced with a new word which has been shown to more effectively improve spelling than a traditional weekly approach (Jaspers et al., 2011). Results of the study indicated that all students showed steady improvement in spelling accuracy for assigned spelling words, as well as a small increase in spelling accuracy in relation to unassigned/untargeted words Jaspers et al.,
