Guiding Thinking for Effective Spelling 2nd Edition
Christine Topfer, Deirdre Arendt
Spelling is a complex cognitive process, not a simple act of memorisation. This book promotes the belief that spelling is a vital part of the communication process, and that when students come to conscious awareness of their thinking about spelling, they become active participants and increasingly independent communicators. This book present spelling as an engaging inquiry process which needs to be supported by a consistent approach across the whole school. They provide clear guidance about creating your own school's supportive learning community, explaining practical ways to assess student spelling needs and adjust teaching practice to guide students' thinking about spelling. The purpose of learning to spell is to assist with effective written communication. Within a supportive community and as active participants in their own learning, students learn to love language, become confident spellers and independent communicators.
