Abstract: | The adolescent dyslexic student’s problems with spelling are very different from those of a young dyslexic child, as he already
has considerable knowledge of the English spelling system. But this knowledge is very often random and confused, so he needs
to acquire a logical structure which will enable him to generate spelling for himself and to communicate effectively in writing.
It will be suggested that accuracy is not always attainable, but the student can be taught to recognize and use the main components
of the spelling system and can learn to employ all available resources. The general aim is to provide the dyslexic adolescent
with the tools he needs to cope with his spelling requirements, both in school and outside; to make informed deductions; to
think for himself. In short, to spell independently and logically. |
