Chapter 12 "When Kids Can't Read"

The author gives a lot of great ideas on how to teach spelling along with reading. She also mentions that without knowledge of spelling it is difficult for students to read well. On page 246 the author states "you'll probably see that students who struggle with word recognition also struggle with spelling."

The best way for teachers to help students with spelling is to work with students to help them learn and use strategies. Every spelling rule doesn't have to be learned but sight words are especially helpful when dealing with reading. Reading and spelling go together and it is crucial for students to learn strategies that will help them with word recognition and spelling.
