On being a poor speller . . .
Who's up for more Edward Dolch quotes? (from Problems in reading, 1948.) Somehow they are poor spellers without knowing why . . . they have given up. All their efforts have proved vain, and they think they just cannot learn to spell. These are the students who need our special... Continue reading
