Understanding Spelling Errors
Webinar Overview
- Learn how spelling errors signal a student’s understanding of speech sounds (phonology) and the patterns of written language (orthography)
- Discover why "right” or “wrong” spelling assessments do not always reveal what a student knows and needs to know
- Discuss why ”right” or “wrong” assessments often don't give the student credit for what he or she does understand
- Employ a simple spelling rubric that provides a qualitative evaluation of spelling errors, highlights what needs to be taught and measures gains in student spelling accuracy
