8th Grade Spelling questions parents ask
What is morphological spelling?
Spelling by meaning parts — if you know struct means build, you can spell construct, instruct and structure.
Should 8th graders still have spelling lists?
Better than lists: proofread their own writing for the ten words they miss most often.
