A friend of mine just contacted me asking me for the 'article about spelling' I posted on Facebook a while ago. That's a pretty big net to cast, but we managed to track it down. For anyone who wants a 'quick and easy' explanation about why we need to change the way we're teaching spelling (or rather, not teaching it - just testing and correcting it), then this is a great place to start. And it takes less than a few minutes to read. Enjoy!
