Mrs. Brookwest is a high school English/Language Arts teacher who notices that one of her 11th grade students has a significant deficit in his ability to spell words correctly. She feels that this could be a major problem for the student on all written exams. The students has an IEP but no condition which would directly link the student to an inability to spell. Mrs. Brookwest wants to help her student improve his spelling ability but all of the resources she comes across in research are written for a lower age group and she feels like worksheets intended for 4th grade students would be to condescending. What should she do in order to help improve his spelling? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I feel that giving students a dictionary to refer to can help improve their spelling and word use. Our county also implements a policy called BYOD, which stands for Bring Your Own Device. Students could use these resources as a spell check when writing for assessments and activities. I have noticed that since I have implemented these measure, writing assessments have improved.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: You could also give the students their own sight words to learn Rated On: October 16, 2014 6:02 pm Rated By: PezaLe                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Technology is a great tool in the classroom. Technology is used in many different ways in the real world as well as in the classroom. BYOD can benefit the child with their spelling needs.
