Why teach spelling as a part of reading?
Spelling is one of the 3 partners in the reading process:
Morphology: the study of word formation
Phonology: the study of sounds
Orthography: the study of correct spelling
Reading and Spelling Connection
Reading – decoding
Spelling - encoding
Consider Cowby: Alice Schertle
Consider cowWhich rhymes with boughBut notWith rough.That’s clear enough.
Remember mooWill rhymeWith throughBut notWith troughOr thoughOr tough.
You’ve gotIt now:There’s doughAnd boughAnd coughAnd throughAnd mough…Er, moo.
At one magical instant in your early childhood,the pages of a book –
that string of confused, alien ciphers
shivered into meaning.
Words spoke to you,gave up their secrets;
at that moment,whole universes opened.
You became,irrevocably,
a reader.
