Teaching Spelling: A Practical Resource
"Teaching Spelling: A Practical Resource" will enhance teachers' understanding of how their students learn to spell and provide a wealth of advice and practical activities for the day-to-day classroom program. Spelling is taught within the context of writing, in such a way that develops students' interest in words and the patterns of the English written language. This book builds on the authors' " Ideas for Spelling." Part One examines the basis for teaching spelling, analyzes the strategies and skills used by competent spellers, and provides specific information about the management of the class program based on students' writing needs at all levels. It also considers the merits of various types of assessment. Part Two includes an exploration of sound/symbol relationships, spelling patterns, derivatives, prefixes, suffixes, generalizations, shortened words, the use of apostrophe, and alternative spellings.

A Must for Elementary Teachers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book provides a wealth of ideas to help teach spelling in a way that is natural and not forced. Weekly spelling lists of contrived words only prove that your "good" spellers will always score high and the other won't; Bolton and Snowball offer a refreshing and successful alternative. This book offers practical techniques and strategies to help all children spell better and with a more critical eye than any mere list could possibly do. It shows teachers how to empower students to make good choices with spelling. I highly recommend this book; I obtained a copy three years ago and it never fails to come in handy. I use it all the time!
