We also outline some issues in spelling assessment that the research literature raises. In addition, we provide examples of spelling assessment processes used in the classroom, some of which employ new technologies.\u003Cbr>As in any other learning areas, the assessment of spelling should be fair, educative, valid, comprehensive, and varied (McMillan, 2000) . It should also be embedded in, or closely linked to, the spelling curriculum. Multiple assessments need to be used to assess students’spelling progress, and these need to be conducted on an ongoing basis to allow the teacher to build a clear and accurate understanding of each student’s learning. Thus, assessment should be seen as a process rather than an isolated act. |  |  |\n| Assessment purposes |  |  |\n| There are different types of assessments for different purposes. Purposes of spelling assessment include:\u003Cbr>• screening to gain an overall idea of where students ‘are at’ in their spelling screening is a fairly blunt instrument but it can help teachers identify struggling students, inform initial groupings of students, and can inform the design of appropriate teaching programs for cohorts of students |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n\n\n| 104 | A closer look at spelling |\n| --- | --- |\n|  | • diagnostic assessment (assessment for learning) to dig deeper and identify individual student’s areas of strength and need with a degree of precision\u003Cbr>• formative assessment (assessment for learning) to monitor growth/progress and provide timely feedback to students\u003Cbr>• summative assessment (assessment of learning) to measure student outcomes in spelling, to evaluate the efficacy of teaching programs and to report to parents and other stakeholders.\u003Cbr>As far as classroom teachers are concerned, the overarching purpose of assessment is to enhance students’ learning and to report on their progress to parents and other bodies. In order to enhance students’learning, screening, diagnostic assessment and progress monitoring are required. |\n|  | Assessment strategies |\n|  | Readers may already be aware of the differences between formal and informal, norm-referenced and criterion-referenced assessments. While these are not described in depth in this chapter, we refer readers who would like more information about these assessment concepts to Barratt-Pugh and Oakley (2007) . In most cases, teachers will use informal, criterion-referenced assessments to assess spelling. These might involve the use of spelling inventories, product analysis of spelling samples, dictations, observation, conversations with students and teacher-made or informal tests from commercial spelling workbooks. The purpose of these assessments will be to gauge each student’s growth in spelling and how they are responding to the teaching and learning experiences offered. Students’ attitudes towards spellings and use of spelling strategies should also be assessed. Feedback to students should be provided on a regular and ongoing basis, using the assessment information.\u003Cbr>Calleira and Howard (2014) note that different spelling assessments, which may purport to assess the same thing (assessing students’spelling ability and performance), may not actually be measuring the same thing because of the different processes and skills involved, and different levels of cognitive load involved. They cite Willet and Gardiner’s (2009) study in which 75 per cent of 2369 primary |\n|  |  |\n\nAssessment of spelling 105  \nschool students spelt more words correctly when words were dictated compared to their spelling performance on the National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) spelling error correction and proofreading items.
