Author Janet Roberts has drawn from her depth of knowledge and understanding of the current learning theories, specifically the development of spelling, to produce this invaluable teacher resource which redresses the problem of inaccurate spelling by students, empowering them to become competent spellers.

Spelling Recovery provides guidelines for teachers to analyse errors in spelling and counter them with specific and direct teaching methods. Recommendations for follow-up and program planning are provided, as are photocopiable master sheets for error-analysis and analysis-to-action forms.
