- Summary:
-
"Spelling : Approaches to teaching and assessment offers teachers insight into this controversial part of curriculum. It examines how students acquire skills and the individual differences that can be observed between spellers."--BOOK JACKET. "Teaching strategies and ideas that are based on an understanding of the learning process are then provided. They cover areas such as teaching students strategies for word study; using tools such as spelling lists and computers; teaching proofreading and editing of spelling errors; helping students with learning difficulties; and assessing students through observation, testing and the use of benchmarks and profiles. Each is supported by research and linked with a developmental perspective on spelling acquisition. Classroom resources are described and appraised. The South Australian Spelling Test, along with current norms on over 1O,OOO students covering 6 to 15.5 years of age, are also included."--BOOK JACKET.
