Spelling & Dyslexia
Do we still need to teach spelling? Does spelling matter in the modern age? Has ‘text speak’ taken over from spelling? Should we still teach spelling?
I think it is still important to be able to spell correctly. Most people with good spelling appear to be reasonably good readers. It seems to go hand in hand, albeit not with everyone.
Many teaching programmes work by slowly building up one letter at a time until the student understands the ‘sound’ that each letter makes. This can be quite difficult, as with the letter ‘c’ can be a hard ‘c’ as in ‘city’ and a hard ‘c’ sounds like ‘class’.
This section is being updated at the moment and will be completed shortly.
