SPELL-Links Facebook Community
It is one of the most ubiquitous social phenomena to occur in this decade.  Over 500 million people use it as a means to share stories, keep up with friends and family, and to harvest virtual crops.  We here at Learning By Design invite all teachers, specialists, parents and students to join us on the SPELL-Links to Reading and Writing page on Facebook! No virtual crops, but a great place to plant your ideas about all things word study and then watch them grow. Post your ideas and success stories for others who share your enthusiasm for spelling and word study.
