3. To select words to be studied, Graham (1999) discusses 4 approaches:

a. Allowing students to choose the words from their writing, reading or content subjects
b. Teaching words that students commonly misspell when writing
c. Teaching words that students are most likely to use in their writing
d. Identifying words that fit different but related patterns

Shanker and Cockrum (2009) note that the words most frequently misspelled by nearly all students are exceptions to phonics rules. They suggest that it may be most helpful to teach students to spell correctly those words that appear most frequently in writing. Spelling should be emphasized in all subject matter and viewed as a skill that will enable students to be more effective writers.

[Students' suggestions for helping students with their spelling skills will vary.]
