This study created a basic spelling list of 335 essential words for students with learning disabilities and poor spelling skills. The list focuses on high-frequency words commonly used by children in their writing.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Linguistics
  • Special Education

Background:

  • Effective spelling instruction is crucial for students with learning disabilities and poor spellers.
  • Identifying high-frequency words in children's writing is key to developing targeted interventions.
  • Existing vocabulary lists may not adequately address the specific needs of struggling spellers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a foundational spelling list for students with learning disabilities and other poor spellers.
  • To identify the most frequent words used in children's writing to inform spelling curriculum.
  • To create a resource that supports early literacy development and academic success.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of four distinct vocabulary lists derived from children's writing samples.
