Have you ever rehearsed for a performance or practised a dance routine? Have you found that when you need to remember how to spell a word, you find yourself having to write it down first? This is because to remember how to do something, we need to do it, time and time again.
When I read that a good way to help my little girl learn to spell was to teach her joined-up writing, I was shocked. How could she spell doing joined-up writing, when she could barely write? The reason was doing joined-up writing is like practising a dance routine. The arm remembers the movement the arm makes when writing a word. It remembers the shape of the word, with the letters in the correct order.
