Spelling success!

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah!

We had our first Spelling Quiz this morning after implementing the use of INDEX CARDS to help with memorization. Alhumdulilah, more than 90% of the students got ALL of the 20 words asked to spell!

Students will be given a word list to memorize each week inshaAllah. We hope that they continue like this!

With the spelling mistake in the poster, we can see why spelling is so important!



Why spelling is important


Children, though, often do not see the importance of spelling. Why not spell book, buk; or read, rede? Spelling standards prevent confusion and they also add to the creativity of English.

Spelling is the basic skill underlying writing. Without learning to spell fluently our train of thought is interrupted during writing. How many times have you had to change a word because you didn’t know how to spell it? Have you ever had the problem where even spell check didn’t recognize it? I know. Before learning the logic of English, I sometimes abandoned the perfect word because I didn’t know how to spell it well enough to look it up.

Spelling standards are the gateway to creativity. This needs to be reflected in curriculum as well as in real life.
