•Reading
|
|
Learning to read and reading are closely related to spelling development (Hughes & Searle, 2000).
"Reading is the single most important factor in spelling development, since kids need to see words in print to know
how to spell them; English is only partially phonetic"(Wilde, 2004, p. 1).
|
•Writing
|
|
Writers cannot avoid spelling (Hughes & Searle, 2000).
Writing creates a purpose for spelling correctly by developing a sense of audience (Hughes & Searle, 2000).
Daily writing will improve spelling (Graves, 2003).
|
•Publishing
|
|
Publishing gives the students a reason to produce a correct piece of writing. They want everyone to be able to read what they
have to say (Clark, 1987).
There must be a purpose for spelling correctly (Hughes & Searle, 2000).
