​Spelling instruction improves spelling, but it also improves reading ability (and research from the early 1980s found a clear connection between spelling and word reading and writing for fifth-graders). The impact of instruction on spelling is moderate-to-large, and students who receive explicit spelling instruction not only out-spell those kids who don’t get such teaching, but they do better than those who deal with spelling incidentally through their writing activity in their classrooms. For this reason, I plan on meaningful Spelling instruction in our classroom.

Our Daily 5 routine will include a spelling section several days per week. "Spelling Tests" will not be conducted in the traditional sense, but will be a part of our Daily 5 work that is evaluated for assessment purposes.
