Abstract	Good spelling is a result of good teaching. And good teaching requires a full understanding of what spelling is--not the rote learning of strings of letters, but a sociolinguistic construction, each word a wonderful tapestry of meaning and history. The teaching of all the linguistic threads that weave through words is key to equity of outcomes in spelling. Orthography, morphology, and etymology are not the preserve of the advanced learners, something interesting to challenge the gifted. They are necessary skills, including for the students who are finding spelling difficult. They may just be the pathway into spelling that these students have been searching for. This brief delves into the following topic areas: how English spelling works; the threads of the spelling tapestry (phonological knowledge, morphological knowledge, orthographic knowledge, etymological knowledge, visual knowledge, and semantic knowledge); a pedagogy for teaching spelling; assessment; and diagnostic assessments.
