[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never heard of anyone allowed to skip spelling. [/quote] There's a difference between skipping spelling -- as in the part of the curriculum dedicated to teaching students how to spell -- and a student not losing points for misspelling when spelling isn't the point of the assignment. Another possible accommodation is being allowed to use spell check (and provided extra time with which to do so).[/quote] Spell check does not help all issues. Literally today a dyslexic texted me "Which interest?" Instead of "Which entrance?" Honestly, I'd fight for this kid to have an IEP. 9th percentile needs way more help. [/quote] If that’s your child I hope you corrected them. They won’t learn by skipping the correct answer.[/quote]
