Implementation of strategies to improve spelling among fourth-grade students at Alfredo V. Bonfil Elementary School

Abstract

The main objective of this research project is to implement strategies and recreational materials to promote correct spelling among students at the Ing. Alfredo V. Bonfil Elementary School (evening shift). It is believed that the problem must be eradicated at its root, and why not, from our classrooms and at the elementary level. The methodology used has a qualitative approach because it involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences, as well as data on behaviors. The instruments used, such as the survey and interviews, were fundamental and important in gathering information. From there, results were discovered, such as: students prefer to learn spelling rules with teaching materials instead of repeating words with spelling mistakes. They also enjoy reading about topics of interest to them, since most do not understand what they read if the readings are not interesting to them. As a reflection, teachers often overlook these situations, which are fundamental to the development of our students and, as in most sciences, children enjoy learning through play.
