Which spelling stage involves students understanding the standard spelling of words?

  1. Conventional Spelling

  2. Phonemic Spelling

  3. Pre-phonemic Spelling

  4. Transitional Spelling

The correct answer is: Conventional Spelling

Conventional Spelling involves students understanding the standard spelling of words. - Phonemic Spelling refers to students using letter-sounds to represent all the sounds in words. This does not involve understanding the standard spelling. - Pre-Phonemic Spelling is when students use random letters for each sound in a word. This does not involve understanding the standard spelling as well. - Transitional Spelling is when students start to use more conventional spelling but may still make some mistakes. However, this does not necessarily mean that they fully understand the standard spelling of words yet.
