Case: Spelling Tests
Many teachers have done away with traditional spelling tests, but in my third grade classroom last year, I saw the negative influence upon students, especially in their writing. Though phonics instruction was provided early on in their education, the lack of spelling instruction resulted in their lack of knowledge of spelling and recognizing words within different texts. Should spelling tests be implemented again, or are they too outdated for today's students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that spelling tests should continue to be used in the classroom. In one of the classes that I observed, the teacher had students do a variety of activities on their weekly spelling words in addition to learning how to spell them. Some of these activities were finding the definitions for each word, and using the words correctly in a sentence or paragraph. At the end of the week, students turned in all of their activities and were given the spelling test. I found this strategy to be very effective, it helped students learn how to both spell and correctly use the words, improving their writing skills. |

| Comments: This solution seems to provide students with more activities to learn words. Rather than just learning to spell words, more activities will help develop a greater knowledge and connection with the words. |
