Spelling and word-level reading are written language skills that draw upon an individual’s repertoire of linguistic knowledge, including phonological awareness; knowledge of orthography, vocabulary, morphology and semantic relationships; and mental orthographic images. Although spelling (encoding) and word-level reading (decoding) draw upon these areas of linguistic knowledge in different ways, each type of linguistic knowledge contributes to spelling and reading success. A collective body of current research demonstrates the importance of integrating multiple linguistic processes within spelling instruction. This article explains spelling and reading as a language-based skills, gives examples of how an individual’s linguistic knowledge contribute to the spelling and reading processes, describes instructional principles and specific activities to improve a student’s spelling, reading, and writing skills, and summarizes research that has documented the effectiveness of multiple-linguistic word study instruction for improving reading and spelling.
