Hi, my name is Susan Stepp.
I am a teacher of the gifted at Comanche Elementary School.
I am enrolled as a graduate student at the University of Texas at Arlington seeking a Masters of Education in Curriculum
& Instruction with a reading emphasis. I plan on attaining the Reading Specialists certification.

I have chosen to research spelling because I find that my gifted students are often handicapped because they are so concerned
about spelling, especially the perfectionist. I am bombarded with, "Ms. Stepp, How do you spell . . ." Some will
write only a few sentences when they could have written pages.
Through my investigation I have discovered interesting facts about spelling, effective instructional strategies to use
for spelling, and how to keep spelling from handicapping the students' writing.
I plan on implementing the strategies I have discovered in my classroom. Therefore, when my students are writing, spelling
will not be a hindrance to the content of their work, their creativity, or to the recording of their thoughts.

Further, I declare that the work being submitted for this assignment is my original work (e.g., not copied from another
