Pay Special Attention to Spelling

My students need a quick way to edit their writing when they are in their academic classes. Spellchecking devices will allow them this opportunity.

My Students

My classroom works like a resource center. I provide my learning disabled students a comfortable and safe environment to make mistakes and learn from them. I utilize a specialized reading program and teach study skills, organization, and spelling.

Many of the students I service have been identified with significant language-based learning disabilities.

They struggle with spelling, impacting the ability to get their great ideas on paper. I strive to help them share the words they want to use but usually avoid because they cannot spell them.

My Project

The spell checking devices will be used by my learning disabled students within their English, math, science and social students classes when writing. They will access them when unable to spell a complex word, instead of trying to think of a more simplistic way to express their ideas.

My students will become more confident when asked to write.

They will take on the tasks and create more mature, original and well-developed writing for all their classes. They will not be afraid to use higher tiered vocabulary. They will get their great ideas on paper for their teachers to read.
