Shannon and Mary welcome @MindfulTeacherRachel back to the podcast to discuss strategies for helping their students strengthen spelling skills.     They talk about the stability of English spelling and the meaning-based reasons for a word's spelling, beyond sound-symbol connections.    Listeners will know what to look for in students' spelling errors and accuracies and walk away with fresh ideas for spelling instruction.
