This scope is therefore designed to teach reading and spelling together. Catherine Snow et al. summarise the real importance of spelling for reading as follows: “Spelling and reading build and rely on the same mental representation of a word. Knowing the spelling of a word makes the representation of it sturdy and accessible for fluent reading.” 2.
