Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy When should teachers correct written work?

Underlining is what I was taught. We were taught to teach our students to try the word and underline it if they weren't sure if about the spelling. But to keep going with the draft. On the second draft the child takes the time to correct speeding and add the word(s) to the his/her personal word list.

The teacher does the same thing when checking work, underlines misspelled words. Depending on situation sometimes providing the correct spelling, sometimes helping the child to look it up.
