For years our past has taught us that when a student can's say a word that you tell them to "sound it out" which is done because it is what was done to us. This method though just doesn't really make it all make sense in the land of reading and writing and definitely spelling therefore students come up with inventive spelling which is spelling the way that they hear things and enclosed in these pages you will see ways that can help it all make sense for your students and perhaps you as well.
