Abstract

This article outlines a theory of developmental spelling that has evolved from qualitative research on children's invented spelling. We show how an analysis of students' invented spellings can inform teachers when to teach what. Examples of 3 students' (ages 6, 8, and 14) invented spellings are provided, and an alternative approach to spelling instruction, called word study (word sorting, picture sorting, word hunting), is discussed within the context of several minilessons about examining words by sound, within-word patterns, and meaning.
