Teaching English, How To.... by Raymond Stopper
Part Three: Writing and Speaking
Chapter 15. Spelling: In the age of computers , is spelling still a worthwhile subject in the English curriculum? "I'll never use a word [in writing] I don't know how to spell," the Syracuse University junior stated candidly."
"Bad idea," I responded. "Your writing vocabulary will be slim to none. You won't be able to deliver your ideas with flair. You won't use that rich vocabulary you've developed over the years. Your sentences could sound like those in the Dick and Jane Readers." In this chapter, I propose a complete, confidence-building spelling program that will be supplemented by "invented spelling" and computerized spelling checkers.
