    @DahlD Was just looking at your great student blogs. I have a question for you: do you correct the spelling before publishing?

    @Grade1 @DahlD how do we build knowledge/use of browser spellcheckers with kids? Lack of school use confuses me

    @Grade1 @DahlD we can even have multiple languages in spellcheck in Firefox

    @Grade1 @DahlD anyway, I just think multi-lingual spellcheck skills are vital in this century

    @DahlD @Grade1 I think understanding the red line and finding right word builds sightword skills, no?

    @irasocol Absolutely. I like what you said about it drawing attention to the errors.

    @mthornton78 its nice to understand arithmetic, not sure we need to be great at it

    mthornton78@mthornton78
    @irasocol @Grade1 @DahlD we should teach them all ways to check. Once out of school, who will be judging their method of spelling correctly

    @irasocol I think that can and should be taught in upper grades. 2nd graders are still learning basic spelling strategies.

    @DahlD @Grade1 don't you already know those really struggling with those phonological skills?

    @irasocol @DahlD I agree! Helps them with reading too. Need to read the options and choose the right one.

    @irasocol @DahlD My students add words to their own dictionary & use word patterns from the word wall to spell, but I still add words to ...
    Sun, Mar 20 2011 13:22:43

    Grade1@Grade1
    @irasocol @DahlD their dictionaries too.

    irasocol@irasocol
    @Grade1 @DahlD That's cool. Do they know how to build their own dictionaries? At some grade we need to do that
    Sun, Mar 20 2011 13:21:00

    DahlD@DahlD
    @mthornton78 Yes, but I teach 2nd grade. At that level they're still learning how to decode and spell.

    @DahlD @Grade1 I guess I'm so frustrated by middle schoolers with none of these skills, and wondering where to begin

    DahlD@DahlD
    @irasocol Oh, I understand. I would think 4th or 5th would be a good place to start.

    Grade1@Grade1
    @irasocol @DahlD I think you do! Good to have the word patterns up though & reinforce this with spelling. I think there`s more to writing...

    @irasocol @DahlD than just spelling,& it`s easy to get caught up in the spelling.It`s a balance.I want the children to focus on content too.

    Grade1@Grade1
    @irasocol @DahlD I try to balance it all. Give them phonemic awareness, use the word wall, & teach them dictionary skills too.

    @DahlD always amazes me that we need to test kids so much. I usually ask the teacher

    irasocol@irasocol
    @DahlD @Grade1 I see TTS with word-by-word highlighting helping reading so much via sightword skills, see same with Speech Recognition >
