 ===== What Does Research Say =====
-Explicit instruction in spelling works. In a meta-analysis of 53 studies that comprised over 6,000 students Graham & Santagelo (2014) found that explicit instruction had a strong effect over and above studies that relied on informal/incidental approaches  or control groups to improving spelling performance such as relying on writing instruction or doing "worked work" during interactive read alouds.

-Increasing the amount of formal spelling instruction also proved beneficial, This too had a strong effect on learners. More importantly gains in spelling were maintained over time and transferred over to correct spelling  when writing. Very few instructional routines are this resistant to decay, losing gains from an intervention, or transfer, lessons showing up in student writing.

 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.

 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, Abouzeid, & Gill, 1994).
-Given the research around spelling and the diagnostic assessments that are reliable  and feasible for teachers to administer more schools should place an emphasis on explicit spelling instruction through word study,
