Spelling

In the days of text messaging and instant messaging, the need to teach spelling has never been more important! I've helped my mother grade research papers with the words LOL and bc written in the paper! I think the first thing that you have to teach them through the stages of spelling development. By doing this you can see what stage each student you have is in. Also, you can now give them spelling lists that can help them develop in their own individual stage. Once again, grouping your students can help the learning process by putting similar learners together. I completely agree with Beers' ideas on how you should use different spelling tests with different groups of students.
