[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 480040, member: 1631"] As a teacher of 4th and 5th graders we let our students know spelling counts! We grade papers on a six trait method so while they may get an Advanced on voice, ideas, organization, word choice, sentence fluency, if they aren't spelling correctly or using conventions well they can get an Emerging on that part of their paper (or on any other area). At the same time there are some children I've had that no matter how hard they try they still struggle with spelling (many with learning disabilities). That part of their report card might get a progressing but if they are doing well in other areas it is important to recognize that. Besides the regular rules and patterns we also try to teach strategies like using dictionaries, spell check (to a point-it doesn't catch everything), and using proofreaders. [/QUOTE]
