Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth analysis of the teaching of spelling. The author starts by observing that there is a contemporary belief that spelling standards are slipping, with many laying the blame on the inclusion of too many extracurricular activities in the curriculum. The author points out that while spelling is a tricky subject and not as straightforward as many people assume, there is no evidence that we are spelling worse than in the past. The author then examines the variety of methods and rules used to teach spelling, concluding that the value of rules for spelling is overstated and that their effectiveness varies widely. Nor is there a single "best" method that is suitable for all pupils. The author advocates examining the types of errors individual students make as a means of planning the best approach to teaching them the correct spelling of particular words. The book concludes with extensive research on the words people actually use in writing and the most common spelling errors made by a range of students. By comparing these results with spelling lists used in schools, the author argues that there is a significant gap between what is taught and what is needed. This timely and necessary book should be of great interest to educators, linguists, and anyone with an interest in improving the teaching of spelling.
