There’s more, but you get the idea. There are a number of additional reasons why it is important to teach kids to be good spellers, and some of them are listed in this article from our archives (the article includes a test that allows you to determine what grade level kids are spelling at). If your child tests out below par, then you should start working on his or her spelling. More information on how to go about this can be found in the Spelling section of our archives.
