[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child has dyslexia or dysgraphia, consult an expert on best practices. Otherwise, reading and writing a lot is how they actually learn to spell, especially if you read books (fiction and nonfiction) above their ability with them so they see the words as you pronounce them. Learning in context is always better brain development. If a reluctant reader, then phonics works best. If you want to hedge your bets, get the official spelling bee lists by grade and drill them, but honestly, that is a terrible waste of childhood.[/quote] Some kids pick it up from reading and other kids need to explicitly be taught the rules. My daughter was the latter.[/quote] I agree. And I know many people who have always been voracious readers but aren't good spellers. I get annoyed when people say that reading=spelling. If that were true, then all the emphasis on reading in school would translate to kids who know how to spell. [/quote]
