Using Students' Invented Spellings as a Guide for Spelling Instruction That Emphasizes Word Study.

Invernizzi, Marcia; And Others

Elementary School Journal, v95 n2 p155-67 Nov 1994

Outlines a theory of developmental spelling, evolved from research on children's invented spellings, that can show teachers when best to teach aspects of spelling. Provides examples and several minilessons of the alternative approach to spelling instruction called Word Study, whereby words are examined by sound, by within-word patterns, and by meaning. (ET)
