I think spelling deserves much higher status in the attention of reading
educators. Spelling is a visible record of language processing, it is language
written down. If we know how to look at a child spelling we can tell what that
child understands about word structure about speech sounds about how we use
letters to represent those and as it turns out anything that is going to
cause trouble with a child's reading will show up even
more dramatically in the child's spelling and writing so it's a wonderful
diagnostic tool provides very detailed insight into what children need to know
and it can also tell us when children are gaining insight and what
improvements they're making in their understanding of language.
a nonsense word like "purrtaluk" or "zabrafitty" or something that follows the patterns of
English but that does not have any meaning is important for kids to be able
to decode and spell because if you're able to do that you understand the
sounds in the word the sound symbol correspondences that are used to spell
those words and possibly you also understand the structure of the word
whether it has a prefix, a root, and a suffix. English is very pattern based and
people who are more proficient at reading and spelling nonsense in fact
are better at reading for meaning. If you can't read up to speed if you can't read
fluently you lose the sense of what the passage is all about and many children
who are poor readers as they get older are devoting too much conscious
attention to figuring out the words on the page or they're reading so slowly
that they forget the beginning of the passage by the time they get to the end
they get worn out they want to quit and and they're just not able to pay
attention to all that meaning we want them to get out of the passage
