For almost a century, spelling has been the poor relation in the
literacy partnership between reading and spelling. The National
Curriculum has now redressed the balance slightly by defining
targets for reading, spelling and handwriting. Some children learn
to spell easily but many lag behind; a few not lacking in
intelligence, remain semi-illiterate or illiterate in to adulthood
even after receiving extensive remedial support. This comprehensive
exploration of spelling includes a careful analysis of the problems
of dyslexia and poor handwriting, as well as numerous examples of
children's written work. This is an essential and highly practical
guide to a neglected area of education. Diane Montgomery has
produced an invaluable text for all those who are concerned about
the literacy of children. Diane Montgomery is Professor of
Education at Middlesex University.
