I have been using making words to supplement my school's
very lacking spelling program. This is the first year I
have been allowed to scrap the spelling program and use
making words. I have had some complaints from parents that
insist their child needs to have a spelling word list each
week and be tested on the words each week. I send home the
weekly word wall list and have explained how making words
works. What else can I do to help parents understand that
making words is an effective tool to teach spelling? The
complaints are coming from parents with children that are
poor spellers to begin with. I've tried to explain that I
work with children based on their level and that a spelling
list will not make them a master speller.
Help, what can I do?
