The document discusses different stages of spelling development: 1) Pre-communicative spelling - scribbles and random letters without connections to sounds. 2) Semiphonetic spelling - letters represent some sounds but not all, and spelling is not readable. Strategies include discussing sounds and encouraging writing. 3) Phonetic spelling - letters represent all sounds heard and spelling is readable. Strategies include reading daily, modeling writing, and teaching visual word features.
