Reading and Spelling Are NOT the Same Skills [Show]

Demme Learning · June 24, 2022 · 1 Comment

As parents, we often assume that if our children are terrific readers, they should also be terrific at spelling. But reading and spelling are actually opposite skills. Join us as we discuss in detail why parents are left feeling anxious at not seeing spelling proficiency develop as their students’ reading skills take off. This is a not-to-miss event if spelling is a struggle in your household.

Show Notes

Remember as you look at the Spelling You See placement guidelines, the overarching goal of placement is to be able to read the placement paragraph without a challenge.  The target words are established for you to have a minimum Lexile score for the passages, but should not be the final decision for your placement.

We Are Here to Help

Should you have further questions, you may benefit from a conversation with our Placement Specialists.
