Strategies for teaching spelling
Some useful strategies for the first years of school including word walls, spelling journals, individual lists,. Australia
Spelling strategies
Young children need a language to talk about how they spell words. It's not just important to learn about words but to teach strategies for how to learn words. These should be explicitly taught and constantly referred to in the classroom. Australia
Principles and practice of teaching spelling
Teachers and carers have an essential role in increasing students' interest in words, influencing their attitudes toward spelling and helping them to learn to spell. Effective teachers need to understand how spelling develops. Australia
Invented spelling and spelling development
An awareness of the five stages of spelling development can help teachers plan instruction. Invented spelling is one such strategy and refers to young children's attempts to use their best judgments about spelling. United States
How spelling supports reading
Research has shown that learning to spell and learning to read both rely on the relationships between letters and sounds. For teachers making sense of the English spelling system, understanding spelling instruction and content, support the teaching of spelling through grades K - 7. United States.
Teaching spelling - word study
