| Summary: | Diverse issues in the spelling curriculum must be resolved. One issue in spelling involves whether students learn to spell words better from a list or within the framework of a practical learning activity. Linguists advocate that words follow a pattern in spelling, yet research studies have been used to select lists of spelling words that may have no patterns in terms of linguistic elements. The selection of spelling words from word lists versus pupil-teacher planning in spelling word selection is a related issue in spelling instruction. Other issues include: (1) use of the sight word method as compared to an emphasis on phonics; (2) intrinsic versus extrinsic means of stimulating student learning; and (3) correlation between subject areas as compared to emphasizing words from separate subjects. A variety of approaches should be utilized in providing for individual differences in spelling. (MM) |
