The part I found interesting in chapter 12 were the suggestions for improving spelling. More specifically I found the first one, spelling word walls, the best suggestion. "Post a list of spelling demons that all students are required to spell correctly at all times."
I know when I was growing up I wasn't necessarily a bad speller however there were some words, more common words, that I had trouble with. For example, I had trouble with the simple word meant, February, piece and grammar. However, if I had a word wall to look at to help me with the words then I would not have had as much trouble. Also, if these word walls are up teachers need to make sure to use these words in the classroom. That way the students come in contact with these words more often. I think these word walls would be very helpful in a classroom and help students learn how to spell the more easy words more quickly.
