Spelling in Use: Looking Closely at Spelling in Whole Language Classrooms Providing a practical look at the role of spelling in the overall
language arts curriculum, this book helps those who interact regularly

broader fabric of learning to write in whole language classrooms. After
an introduction, chapter 1 provides opportunities to explore how
teachers' beliefs about language and literacy learning impact how they
view their students' writing. Chapter 2 introduces three teachers who
tell their personal stories of transition from a traditional approach
to spelling instruction to incorporating the study of spelling in use
in their whole language classrooms. Chapter 3 provides suggestions for
developing ways to systematically study and assess children's spelling
in use. Chapter 4 presents the "nuts and bolts" of spelling instruction
in a whole language classroom. Chapter 5 provides practical help in
communicating with parents about the teaching of spelling in use. The
final chapter responds to questions that teachers most often ask about
spelling instruction. Contains 19 references.
