Spelling inventory- 

• used to group students by spelling developmental stages. When you give your student spelling inventories you are able to see what they struggle with (consonants, diagraphs, blends, short vowels.. etc) 
• This is an assessment used to test students ability to spell and what they are having trouble with.
• This lets you assess your students and placing  them in spelling development stages. When you have a student that you assed you can find out what they are having trouble with and help them understand.

Static reversal- 

• When a child is confused on the proper orientation of the letter or the order of letter in a word. 
• Students confusing how letters look in a word.
• This is important because if you notice it you can help your students correct it.

Kinetic reversal- 

• when a child confuses words that are mirror images of each other such as (saw and was, ton and not)
• When the student is writing backwards as if it was a mirror image of the word or letter.
• This is important because you can see when a student does and correct them and work with them.
