For too long, the explicit teaching of spelling was neglected. In this clear and concise text, author and educator Peter Westwood steps through the skills required to be an accurate speller, and how teachers can impart these skills to students of all ages – from those in the preschool years right through to adults, with an emphasis on explicit teaching strategies. The book also includes useful print and online resources, making it a practical addition to the bookshelf of any teacher looking to improve their students’ spelling.
