Why kids can't spell

a practical guide to the missing component in language proficiency

"The design of this book uses a scope and sequence format with each chapter building on the previous one. Every chapter includes a discussion on spelling background knowledge. The book contains an analysis of children's writing samples, in accordance with J. Richard Gentry and Jean Wallace Gillet's Model of Spelling Development. This is followed by numerous inquiry-based, project-based, and generative ideas and activities."

"The activities in this book are practical and easy to prepare, utilize readily available materials one might find around the home, and are meant to facilitate readers' understanding. All chapters are related and the reader is encouraged to browse and borrow from any chapter. The activities may be modified in order to appropriately challenge and meet individual needs."--Jacket.
