Our grade level currently gives sight words as spelling test. My principals argument is, "Does this benefit all students?". What do you feel about giving a grade for spelling test? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think spelling is a skill that should be monitored and graded. Learning how to spell words correctly is the first step in becoming a successful reader and writer. The grade-level could possibly discuss with the principal why spelling is important. Another solution might include using words from their science and social studies curriculum. This integration of subjects might help persuade the principal of the importance in spelling.                 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: Spelling is crucial in everyday life.
