Traditional, developmental, and structured language approaches to spelling: Review and recommendations

Traditional, developmental, and structured language approaches to spelling: Review and... Current research does not support the notion that spelling is a simple rote-memory task. Learning to spell is better understood as a complex developmental process that is interconnected with phonological awareness and reading ability. In this review, three perspectives on spelling theory, research, and instruction are examined. Traditional classroom-based, developmental, and structured language approaches are outlined and their implications for assisting poor spellers explored. Instructional recommendations are made by drawing from and combining some of the strengths of each method. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Annals of Dyslexia Springer Journals

Abstract

Current research does not support the notion that spelling is a simple rote-memory task. Learning to spell is better understood as a complex developmental process that is interconnected with phonological awareness and reading ability. In this review, three perspectives on spelling theory, research, and instruction are examined. Traditional classroom-based, developmental, and structured language approaches are outlined and their implications for assisting poor spellers explored. Instructional recommendations are made by drawing from and combining some of the strengths of each method.
