What if spelling wasn’t just one thing—but two? In this episode of Empowering the Educator Within, we explore the idea that spelling for English Language Learners might need to serve more than one purpose.

Join Christina as she reflects on the difference between foundational and academic spelling, and what this means for designing more effective support for ELL students.
