Three important things that I learned were: many people with dyslexia will learn to read fairly well but will have difficulties with spelling and handwriting throughout their life, poor spellers have trouble remembering the letters in words because they have trouble noticing, remembering, and recalling the features of language that those letters represent, and if a student is struggling to remember spelling words, a standardized test of spelling achievement with current national norms should be given to quantify just how serious the problem is. The most important thing I learned from this article was that spelling instruction that explores word structure, word origin, and word meaning is the most effective rather than just having students memorize the words. With this spelling instructions, there are several different accommodations that can be made for students with dyslexia that are listed at the end of the article.
