The section I found most interesting was the section detailing the stages of spelling development. I didn't even know there were stages in the development of spelling. The stages are as follows: emergent, letter name, within-word pattern, syllable juncture, and derivational constancy.
It would be important to know what stages your kids are in because it will help you vary your instruction. For example I know that if I can see how the student is trying to spell a word then I can figure out ewhat they need to work at. If they are trying to spell the word based on syllables, then I can focus on prefixes and suffixes to explain why the word is spelled that way.
