The New Zealand Curriculum sets some general indicators of what it expects students to by doing at each level for writing: So doesn't it make sense that we, as teachers, ensure they can successfully write using these most important words of all? NZCER's research has proven that these are the words most used by children as they develop their writing schools during primary school. I am a strong believer in the value of learning these lists first. Some people swear by Joy Allcock's Switched onto Spelling or Spelling Under Scrutiny, and some by Gaye Byers programme, while there are those of us who believe that the best place to start is with the NZCER researched Essential Lists. Some I found underwhelming, others I found overwhelming. As I have worked in a variety of schools I have seen a variety of spelling programmes.
Spelling is a somewhat contentious issue.
