English spelling is extremely complex because it owes so much to other languages. There are rules but unfortunately there are just as many exceptions to the rules. This book has been written in an attempt to help you sort out the problems. It gives examples of spelling variations and lists of frequently misspelled words as well as providing you with some fascinating background information on the origin of certain words.

The second edition of Spelling: approaches to teaching and assessment is written at a time of renewed public and academic interest in the topic of children’s spelling. This interest is reflected in the amount of new research conducted over the past five years, and in the number of new books, articles, and curriculum guides written for teachers. Much of the research, and many of the new texts, are cited in this new edition.

This book would assist the literacy coordinator in advising staff to help others teach spelling more effectively
      Packed with case studies, photographs and examples of children’s work, this unique book sets out the most effective approaches to spelling and provides teachers with a broad set of principles on which to base their teaching. This is an invaluable resource for any teacher or trainee teacher wishing to raise standards in spelling in their classroom.
