Spelling by Diane Montgomery
For almost a century, spelling has been the poor relation in the literacy partnership between reading and spelling. The National Curriculum has now redressed the balance slightly by defining targets for reading, spelling and handwriting. Some children learn to spell easily but many lag behind; a few not lacking in intelligence, remain semi-illiterate or illiterate in to adulthood even after receiving extensive remedial support. This comprehensive exploration of spelling includes a careful analysis of the problems of dyslexia and poor handwriting, as well as numerous examples of children's written work. This is an essential and highly practical guide to a neglected area of education. Diane Montgomery has produced an invaluable text for all those who are concerned about the literacy of children. Diane Montgomery is Professor of Education at Middlesex University.
