An Excellent Teacher's Resource!

I bought this book for a grad. class for Reading Specialists. It is an amazing resource for anyone who teaches spelling. It explains why we need to teach children HOW to spell (giving them strategies and skill in spelling) rather than having them memorize a word list every week. The theory is well explained and makes great sense! The strategies given are easily applicable to any classroom. If you are looking to get away from spelling lists and move to individualized spelling this book will effectively guide your transition.
