Reading Lesson Plans & Comprehension - Finding Misspelled Words

Finding Misspelled Words

"My students had weak spelling skills. Whenever I asked them to hand in the final draft of an essay using spelling words, there would still be mistakes. In the past, I corrected the misspelled words and handed them back but I don't anymore. Now I tell my students how many words they misspelled and they have to find the mistakes themselves, forcing the students to study the words more carefully."
