Purpose
The primary purpose of 3 Clicks Spelling is
to help struggling spellers, children as well as adults, to incorporate their
strong speaking vocabulary into their written language.
Moats (2005 -2006), states that many "poor spellers may restrict what they write
to words they can spell, with inevitable loss of verbal power". (p12)
3 Clicks Spelling is not a
spelling program. A student may want to include a word in their writing
that may not have yet been introduced in a spelling program/sequence and/or
the student may not have mastered the spelling concept previously introduced.
Goal:
The goal of 3 Clicks Spelling is for an
individual to find the correct spelling of a word with three clicks and in less
than one minute.
