Book excerpt: 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.
