There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are,however,vastly different ideas about how to teach it,or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability.The problem is,how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest,clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe".He will tend to write only words within his spelling range,choosing to avoid adventurous language.That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:"This work is terrible!There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible (难以辨认)." It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing,but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay,which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings.The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors,but if his priorities had centred on the child's ideas,an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动力) to seek improvement.

楼上一看就是机器翻译的,哎.我来笔译下吧：在父母亲中有个流行的观念,即学校不再注重拼写教学.我教过的学校里没有一所不是曾忽视拼写或者认为它是一项不重要的基本技能.然而,也有一些截然不同的观点关于如何教它,或怎样让它必须优先于一般语言培养能力和写作能力.问题在于,如何鼓励孩子自由和自信地在写作中表达他自己而不被拼写的复杂程度所难倒.
如果拼写成为他的老师的唯一焦点,很显然一个聪明的孩子为了安全起见,他会倾向于只在他的拼写能力范围内的词,而避免选择没把握的冒险的语言.那就是老师们为什么经常鼓励学生在早期使用字典并注意内容,而不是拼写书写能力.
我曾震惊地在一篇关于一次个人经历的感性文章底部读到过：“这真是糟糕的作业!有太多的拼写错误,而且书写难以辨认."这可能已成为对小学生拼写及书写能力的一个犀利的批评,但是也是对老师忽略阅读文章,忽略包含孩子的一些载有美好表达的深情厚意的一种悲哀反映.老师关注书写错误并没有错,但是如果他更注重孩子的思想,那么一个表达他失望的意见将给学生更多的动力去提高拼写水平.
