Spelling Queen

Kylie Jean wants to win the Spelling Bee.

Ellie is a super-speller! But when her best friend Hannah makes the cut for the spelling bee instead, Ellie discovers that being super doesn't mean she shouldn't study.

This book bridges the gap between knowledge accumulated from research on spelling acquisition and the practicalities of teaching spelling more effectively. Current trends are examined, alongside community views on spelling standards because this is the context in which change is beginning to occur. The book contains practical suggestions on methods and activities applicable to all students, supplemented by specific advice on assessment, and links to additional resources.

Activities for use in all groups to practice the use of spelling strategies and methods outlined in "How To Manage Spelling Successfully", for use in both primary and secondary schools.
