In other words stop weighting mechanics so hard in writing rubrics and teach more explicit spelling if you want to see improvements in the spelling of student writing. Teach writing when assessing writing and assess spelling when teaching spelling. Put the red pen away when providing feedback on papers. | In other words stop weighting mechanics so hard in writing rubrics and teach more explicit spelling if you want to see improvements in the spelling of student writing.

Much of the research in teaching early-childhood and elementary spelling involves the analysis of invented spelling. Charles Read (1971) first mapped inventive spelling to students understanding of phonemes. Inventive spelling then became a diagnostic tool to measure a students understanding of word knowledge (Invernizzi, | Much of the research in teaching early-childhood and elementary spelling involves the analysis of invented spelling.

Often students make random markings or write letters from memory that have no bearing on sound. Students can write on paper, hold a utensil correctly, know the print carries meaning, can tell the difference between print and pictures, write inthe correct direction of their language, and draw letter like forms. The students may make some letter to sound correspondence. | Often students make random markings or write letters from memory that have no bearing on sound.
