Description
Over the last 30 years, much has been learned about how children develop as spellers. During that time, the literary confidence of many kindergarten, 1st-, and 2nd-grade children has been damaged by insisting they use conventional spelling when, in their thinking, it is impossible to understand how words can be spelled conventionally. For example, many young children believe that "of" is spelled "uv." In time, the child will read "of" in texts and decide that both "o" and "f" have more than one sound and so will begin to write "of" conventionally. Maryann's attic is full of thousands of spelling papers collected during research projects over the past 20 years. Along with her colleague, Constance Kamii, they have documented the growth of many classrooms of kindergarten, 1st-, and 2nd-grade children. We have followed hundreds of these children from Level 1, letter strings, to Level V, conventional spelling.
