According to a recent article in the June/July issue of Reading Today ("Orthography aids in building vocabulary, reading skills"), seeing how words are spelled helps children learn what those words mean.
So what does this mean for your classroom? When you teach vocabulary, be sure to present words both visually and orally. This technique is emphasized, along with many other great ideas for helping differentiate spelling lessons to meet the needs of all learners, in Jane Bell Kiester's easy-to-use step book, Teach Spelling So It Sticks!
