When the student learns to read the word <span class=\"italic\">bread<\/span>, for example, he learns to spell the word in the same lesson.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li><span class=\"bold\">Single-subject programs<\/span>, on the other hand, teach reading and spelling in separate lessons. <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-reading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">All About Reading<\/a><\/cite> and <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-spelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">All About Spelling<\/a><\/cite> fall into this category.<\/li>\r\n    <\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>You may be wondering why we don\u2019t combine our programs into a single All About\u00ae program. After all, wouldn't it be more efficient to teach multiple subjects in the same program?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That's a great question! Read on to discover the two main reasons we teach these subjects separately.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Reason #1: Most Children Learn to Read More Quickly than They Learn to Spell<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Simply put, reading is easier than spelling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">In reading, a child <span class=\"italic\">decodes<\/span> the written word.<\/span> Phonogram <span class=\"underline\">AY<\/span> always says long A, so once a child learns that, reading words like <span class=\"italic\">stay<\/span> and <span class=\"italic\">display <\/span>is a straightforward task.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even with a more complex phonogram\u2014such as phonogram EA, which can say three sounds (\/\u0113\/, \/\u0115\/, or \/\u0101\/)\u2014students can try out each of the three sounds to see which forms a real word. And the fact that students learn to recite the phonogram sounds in order of frequency is also helpful. In a word like <span class=\"italic\">thread<\/span>, the student who tries out the first, most common sound of EA quickly realizes that \/thr\u0113d\/ isn\u2019t a real word, so she tries the second sound of EA, resulting in the real word \/thr\u0115d\/.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">But in spelling, a child <span class=\"italic\">encodes<\/span> the word.<\/span> Ideally, there would be just one way to write each sound, but the reality is that there are many ways to write each sound. If a child wants to write the word <span class=\"italic\">great<\/span> or <span class=\"italic\">neighbor<\/span>, for example, he has to decide how the sound of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/long-vowel-sounds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">long A<\/a> should be written. Choices include A, AI, A-consonant-E, EIGH, EI, EY, or AY. There are some generalizations that can help narrow down the options, but the fact is that there are approximately 250 ways to spell the 45 speech sounds of the English language.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n<p>So even though reading and spelling are flip sides of the same coin, reading is easier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Here's Proof that Reading Is Easier<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Let\u2019s do a quick demonstration. Read the words below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Teaching-Reading-Spelling-Separately-Chalkboard1-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Teach Reading Spelling Separately - All About Learning Press\" class=\"center\" width=\"400\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>You didn\u2019t have any trouble reading them, did you?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But what if I asked you to <span class=\"italic\">spell<\/span> them? (Without looking first, of course!) How would you do?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you think you would have spelled all these words correctly, congratulations! You\u2019re probably a better speller than most adults. Though most adults can easily read these words, many would misspell them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/teaching-reading-spelling-separately-girl-chalkboard-300x300.png\" alt=\"Teach Reading Spelling Separately - All About Learning Press\" class=\"right\" width=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\n<h2>The Same Is True for Your Child<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>With a basic understanding of phonics, a child should be able to read the word <span class=\"italic\">special<\/span> without much trouble. But <span class=\"italic\">spelling<\/span> the word <span class=\"italic\">special<\/span> is a greater challenge because of that tricky \/sh\/ sound in the middle of the word.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Is it spelled <span class=\"italic\">speshul<\/span>, just like it sounds?<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>Or is it <span class=\"italic\">spetial<\/span> like <span class=\"italic\">martial<\/span>?<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>Or should it be spelled <span class=\"italic\">spesial<\/span> with the same word ending as <span class=\"italic\">controversial<\/span>?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>See what I mean? Is it any wonder that so many children struggle with spelling? And that leads to the <span class=\"italic\">second<\/span> reason we teach reading and spelling separately.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Reason #2: All-In-One Programs Force You to Choose between Two Scenarios<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>When you try to teach your child to read and spell the same words at the same time, you guarantee only one thing: one of these critically important subjects will fall by the wayside. That\u2019s because there are two possible scenarios with programs that combine reading and spelling:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Scenario #1.<\/span> Your child learns to read the words in the lesson, but he can\u2019t move on to the next lesson because he\u2019s still learning to <span class=\"italic\">spell<\/span> those words. Without knowing it, you have chosen to focus on spelling at the expense of reading.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Teaching-Reading-Spelling-Separately-Scenerio1-730x135-1.png\" alt=\"Teach Reading Spelling Separately - All About Learning Press\" class=\"center\" width=\"750\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Scenario #2.<\/span> Your child learns to <span class=\"italic\">read<\/span> the words in the lesson, but although he\u2019s still learning to <span class=\"italic\">spell<\/span> the words, you decide to allow him to move on to the next lesson. You\u2019ve chosen to focus on reading, so your child\u2019s spelling suffers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Teaching-Reading-Spelling-Separately-Scenerio2-730x135-1.png\" alt=\"Teach Reading Spelling Separately - All About Learning Press\" class=\"center\" width=\"750\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>As you can see, it\u2019s a no-win situation. All-in-one programs force you to choose one subject to the detriment of the other. But I don\u2019t believe you should have to sacrifice your child\u2019s learning in <span class=\"italic\">any<\/span> subject.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>So, <span class=\"italic\">That\u2019s<\/span> Why We Teach Reading and Spelling Separately<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>With our single-subject approach, your child can succeed at <span class=\"italic\">both<\/span> subjects. He can progress as quickly as possible in reading ...<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Teaching-Reading-Spelling-Arrow-Reading-730x135-1.png\" alt=\"Teach Reading Spelling Separately - All About Learning Press\" class=\"center\" width=\"750\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>... and he can take as much time as he needs in spelling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Teaching-Reading-Spelling-Arrow-Spelling-730x135-1.png\" alt=\"Teach Reading Spelling Separately - All About Learning Press\" class=\"center\" width=\"750\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>With this approach, your child can more easily achieve mastery in both reading and spelling, without sacrificing learning in either subject.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Do you think that teaching reading and spelling separately would make a difference for your kids?<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All-in-one programs force you to prioritize one subject over another.
