I'm sorry to hurt your feelings but teaching spelling is not "unnecessary", "useless", or "outdated". Let me tell you why! #spellingmatters #EBP #ELAchat
1/ Think about the role that spelling plays in our daily life. Notes, homework, grocery lists, texting, tweeting, medical forms, job applications etc. Spelling instruction must be part of the curriculum so that no student feels incompetent and embarrassed.
2/ And by 'spelling instruction', I don't mean endless lists of words to memorize. This is a disservice to the richness and beauty of the English language and every language. I mean instruction that is explicit and systematic.
