"The purpose of this study was to (a) compile a list of research-supported teaching techniques,\r\n(b) ascertain which postulates a representative sample of elementary teachers\r\nused to teach spelling and (c) determine to what degree those procedures were used in\r\nthose classrooms. The research and literature pertaining to the teaching of spelling was\r\nreviewed and summarized. From these summaries belief statements and procedural statements\r\nwere developed and used as the basis for a survey. This survey was distributed to\r\nelementary teachers in a school district in suburban Vancouver, B.C. Of the 298 eligible\r\nteachers, 199 completed the survey. The results were tabulated and charts and graphs\r\nwere created to ease the analysis of the data. It was found that much confusion surrounding\r\nthe teaching of spelling existed among this representative sample of elementary teachers.\r\nOften belief statements did not match indicated classroom practices or vice versa. It\r\nis recommended that an efficient way be found by this school district to convey to its\r\nteachers effective, research-based practices in the teaching of spelling."@en
