the students and the teacher say a cheer of the spellings of the words. What does it mean? "For example, a typical extra support lesson would include writing the words on the board and modeling the pronunciation of the word. Then the teacher asks students how many letters are in a word and the group works together to spell the word for a student who builds the word with letter cards. Then the students and the teacher say a cheer of the spelling of the words.The teacher writes some sentences with the new words on the board, while each student reads the sentences.

It depends on the context. What is the text about? However, there is a method for teaching spelling which connects individual letters with cheerleading style moves. So the teacher probably says a letter, the children repeat the letter and also make the corresponding movement. Imagine cheerleaders spelling out the individual letters of their school name in a chant.

I'm not sure what this means. As you know, a 'cheer' a shout of joy such as 'Hurray!' when that you do when your team scores a goal - that doesn't quite make sense in this context. I wonder if the person who wrote this was thinking of 'chant'? This when a person or group of people repeat words together in a rhythmic semi-musical way?
