Hi Doc!
This week’s tip is about what causes problems with spelling.

Many children and even adults have problems with spelling.

Spell check can often only get you so far.

Sometimes spell check cannot even tell what word you are trying to spell.

You may have even written a word that is a word but not the word you intended to write.

Poor spelling abilities can lead to a lack of confidence and poor performance at school.

Spelling and reading are interconnected, so one step in improving reading skills is to improve your spelling skills.

So what are the primary areas of auditory and visual processing that affect spelling problems?
