Comparing Carreker And Moats 'Spell Learning'

Spell Learning helps to build the connection between the letters and sounds. Joshi, Treiman, Carreker and Moats explain this connection: "The correlation between spelling and reading comprehension is high because both depend on a common denominator: proficiency with language. The more deeply and thoroughly a student knows a word, the more likely he or she is to recognize it, spell it, define it, and use it appropriately in speech and writing."
