Teachers are often confronted with parents' concern of their children's use of invented spelling. Research has found that if educators inform parents of the positive benefits associated with invented spelling, their attitudes towards its use will become more favorable. Consequently, these favorable attitudes will encourage parents to be more accepting of their children's use of invented spelling. Because of the benefits associated with its use, the end result will be increased academic achievement for the children.
