Our God is a communicating God. He has communicated with humankind throughout history: with individuals in relation to His will for them and with messengers who were to convey His message to others. God speaks to humankind through His creation, the actions He performs, the Bible, and His Son Jesus Christ. We are responsible for knowing and heeding what God says.
The ability to communicate with one another and with God is part of His plan for our lives. The written form of our language requires accurate spelling. Thus, spelling becomes an important part of the communication process. The written form of our language allows the transfer of information over space and time. Writing is unique to humans and is a clear reflection of the nature of God.
Spelling should be tied closely with the writing process and other language arts activities. It should not be viewed as an independent, unrelated subject.
