An Inquiry Concerning The Practical Value Of Selecting Third-Grade Spelling Words From The Developmental Reading Program, Virgil William Estes

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the practical value of selecting upper primary spelling words from the developmental reading program. Two major aspects of the study were: (1) Will upper-primary children more easily learn to spell words which have previously appeared in their developmental reading program? (2) Will they retain the spelling or those words longer than other words of similar spelling difficulty?
