We wish to raise awareness that the quality texts that teachers use in their literacy classrooms, and the words that students use in their own writing, are incredibly powerful tools to teach spelling in context, drawing on the reciprocity of the reading-writing connection.
It is not our intent to discuss the vagaries of the ubiquitous practice of using spelling texts and commercial programs to teach spelling in this paper. Rather, students use a broad range of spelling skills recursively as the need arises for them to communicate effectively, based on the overlapping waves theory of spelling acquisition (Siegler, 1996).
However, emerging research suggests that the acquisition of spelling competence is not a sequential process of hierarchically ordered sub-skills demonstrated in linear stages, building towards writing competence (Daffern, 2016a Adoniou, 2016). Most schools in which we currently work and have taught in, use spelling text books and commercial programs to teach spelling in a structured and sequential way, based on the work of Gentry (1982) and development stage theory, which outlines that spelling is learned in a defined set of developmental stages. We work in a shared space supporting schools in literacy. It is a complete educational resource that boosts all level of a child’s literacy.Ĭontaining a personal computer tutor, Ultimate Spelling is the most realistic step-by-step guide to flawless spelling ability.Disclaimer:The views expressed in this paper are the views of the authors and not necessarily those of their employer, the New South Wales Department of Education.
In fact, Ultimate Spelling provides more than just spelling help. It is a fast and easy way to master even the most complicated spelling, without the need to write long lists or complete boring tests.
