"Learning to spell is also part of "cracking the code." As children learn about phonics, they apply what they're learning through both reading and writing. Children's early spellings reflect what they know about phoneme-grapheme relationships... as their knowledge grows, their spelling increasingly approximates conventional spelling"
I liked this quote because it explains how children's minds go from all phonetics to actual words and conventional spelling. I think spealling should be taught through a series of techniques like we talked about in class, instead of just memorizing lists of words.
What are some spelling activities you plan on doing in your classroom to make the transition from phonetics to conventional spelling?
