Benefits of revision in spelling didactics

Abstract

This study, carried out in twenty classes in the primary education, in the Toledo province, tries to prove the usefulness of didactic proposals that are based upon using communicative writing composition with a cognitive and linguistic reflexion in interactive learning states. For this purpose, different pedagogic proposals are developed based on the fact that pupil’s mistakes are a crucial part in their constructive process. Moreover, instead of penalising them, students were encouraged to individually or collectively check their texts in order to improve them. I investigated the process and the results of pupils, verifying the benefits of a systematic revision in communicative contexts
