There

17、are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spe

18、lling.If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe“. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pa

There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible(难以辩认的).“ It may have been a sharp criticism of the p

20、upils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child s deep feelings.
