Hi everyone, I think I finally have this figured out. I join the bunch of you that are new to blogging! Anyway, here is my question: What is the relationship between students’ work in the spelling curriculum and their spelling in their writing across the school day? There were a few different things that brought me to this question. First, I have struggled with spelling throughout my life and have considered myself a "bad speller." I am curious to find out if the new curriculum being used in my 1st grade classroom is helping students to better learn to spell. I am interested to see if their is a correlation between their success in the spelling curriculum, like their test scores, and their ability to use those words spelled right in their writing. Anyway, I am interested to see where it goes!

I am very interested to see where this ends up for you also!! I think my kids often memorize for the time being and don't transfer itinto their long term memory, Therefore, it shows throughout their writing:) This will be very neat to see!
This is so interesting...I am also really bad at spelling...it is os hard for kids for some reason...your research is going to be very interesting. Nicole A
This will be very intersting research. The new spelling program was picked in the hopes that it would give the kids tools to use the words in their writing. I am looking forward to what you find out.
Catie, I really like this research question. I am a struggling speller myself and have yet to find a program for my students that transfers to their writing. I have tried holding them very accountable in their writing with "No Excuse" words but I feel like I need more. I will be interested to see what you find out.
