📘 Cawley et al. argue there are significant gaps & inconsistencies in the national curriculum guidance on the teaching of #spelling, which in turn leads to a lack of teacher confidence in spelling tuition and non-optimal teaching strategies. 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0013... @jelliclecat.bsky.social
The background image is ‘SPELLING’ written using cubes on an orange background. This is overlaid with the ‘Educational Review’ journal title at the top. In the middle is the article title and author name(s): ‘“It’s just about printing the list, getting children to copy them”: some teachers’ experiences of the Key Stage 2 national curriculum for spelling in English primary schools’ by Kathryn Cawley, Sarah Critten, Helen L. Breadmore & Julia M. Carroll. The words “Open Access” appear in a red circle.

"If, from an early age, we make children’s educational 'careers' too contingent on individual performance, then that exacerbates the importance of performing well and avoiding failure, which, in turn, drives anxiety." Really enjoyed speaking to researcher Reinhard Pekrun for this piece.
