Frequency/intensity of intervention is determined by student need. For Tier 1 applications, SPELL-Links typically is completed during part of the reading block.</p>

			<p>Spelling error analysis shows deficits in any one of the linguistic underpinnings of word-level reading and spelling (phonological, orthographic, morphological, mental orthographic image (MOI)/representation) will manifest as specific patterns of spelling errors in the student&#39;s spelling of words. Professionals well-trained in linguistic word study can observe patterns within students&#39; misspellings. For the rest of us, the SPELL-Links assessment software (SPELL-2), for example, uses spelling error analysis algorithms to identify deficits in a variety of underlying linguistic skills including storage and retrieval of mental orthographic images (MOIs) of specific words and word parts, including affixes.</p>

			<p>This is a real challenge and a problem that is set to grow as more students are identified through mandatory screening for dyslexia. A multi-faceted approach is needed to provide students the services they need with limited staff. This can include early (preschool) programs that will help to reduce the need for intervention and intensity of services needed once a student enters school, early screening and identification to provide early intervention before students fall significantly behind their peers, targeted intervention so each student receives only the instruction s/he needs, evidence-based instruction to achieve results as quickly as possible, and use of clinical tools and independent activities that deliver the repeated exposure and practice needed.</p>

			<p>How and when would you integrate fluency instruction into practice?</p>

			<p>First, it&#39;s important to distinguish between reading fluency and reading rate (wpm). Reading fluency is defined as &quot;reasonably accurate reading, at an appropriate rate, with suitable prosody, that leads to accurate and deep comprehension and motivation to read&quot; ( Hasbrouck &amp; Glaser 2014). Reading rate is one component of the three primary components of fluency (accuracy, rate, and expression) and develops as a student gains automatic word recognition. Multi-linguistic word study instruction, when properly done, leads to automatic word recognition and improved reading rate. For most students, reading fluency will emerge as reading rate improves. If not, there may be other factors--for example, oral language syntax comprehension deficits--at play that need to be addressed.</p>

		<tr>
			<td>
			<p>It&#39;s possible that a student can be a poor speller and yet have strong reading skills. More commonly, however, if a student is a poor speller, weak reading skills often co-exist. Weak decoding skills could be masked by strong vocabulary and compensatory strategies such as guessing a word from context. Or a student may decode accurately but not efficiently, automatically, so on the surface reading decoding may seem &quot;normal&quot; but the student&#39;s comprehension may be compromised due to inefficiency of decoding. If a student presents with poor spelling, it&#39;s important to carefully examine decoding skills that on the surface may appear to be within normal limits. &nbsp;</p>
