Lessons from Champion Spellers.
Logan, John W.; And Others
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v13 n1 p89-96 Fall 1989
A study of 97 spelling competition finalists in grades 4-8 and their parents found that the students used dictionaries, science-related texts, and word lists to prepare. The students were intrinsically motivated and had a repertoire of spelling strategies which they used singly or in concert to maximize likely spellings of words. (JDD)
