Meta,

I am so grateful for your comments. 

Here is another technique:  Taking down from (taped) dictation a piece of  prose, studying it, then being "tested" on it later by having  it read aloud again to be written down.  This exercise could be shortened by just having students take down from tape a paragraph or so, studying it, then taking it down from tape again "for real."  

I used this with students since I had come across the technique  when I learned a foreign language, myself.  I had to listen very closely to separate  words,  to get syntax  right, and eventually to achieve correct spelling.

I have printed out the many remarks you included in your email, clearly these teachers found the READ ALOUD  technique useful..How did  you come across it?  Come to think of it?

Andrea
