Why Teach Spelling?
"Spelling forces the brain to synthesize its knowledge of a word—to reconcile how the word sounds, how it looks, and how it employs the rules and idiosyncrasies of our language. This is a highly beneficial skill. When students can both decode (read words) and encode (spell words), they have a much better grasp of language overall. Simply put, learning to spell helps our students become better readers and better writers." From: Read Naturally Why teach handwriting?
"The brain engages differently when we write something by hand as opposed to typing it on a keyboard or by touching a screen. Studies show that writing improves memory; students retain learning better when working with new ideas through handwriting instead of typing." From: Oak Meadow |
