For the most part though my students that struggle with spelling are also students that don’t read a lot. The more one is exposed to reading hopefully the better ones spelling will be , but it’s not a given. I have one of my own children who struggles with spelling and barely reads. I encourage her to keep reading things to me ( books are too much but instructions for recipes or smaller jobs like that) and hope that that will help strengthen her spelling. |
I disagree with every word you said. My English teachers loves me, I loved to read and had a quick grasp of the concepts and styles of Lit. and writing. My spelling was and is atrocious.

BTW, not connected with writing either. I'm a professional writer, still terrible at spelling. I just really rely on spellcheck! I haven't written anything on paper aside from the odd dashing off a note or list since high school.

I think people can be great readers but not great spellers. But you'd be hard pressed to find a good speller that isn't also a good reader.

I was a huge reader as a kid and have always been a good speller. I always assumed they go together.
However I don't have a great vocabulary and am not good at expressing myself, in speaking or in writing. I would have thought all that reading would help in that area but it didn't.

Do the 2 necessarily go together?
Anyone a big reader and still struggle with spelling?
Or vice versa? |
Yes there is absolutely huge correlation between reading and learning spelling.
Those who read more are much more likely to have better spelling skills. Seeing the words over and over during reading helps learning the spelling of words.

Reading a lot doesn't guarantee eloquence or good spelling, but you can't have either without it.

Spelling in my mind is related to good visual memory and also pattern recognition

This is me, but with not so fancy vocabulary.
