Our writers in third grade are required to look up spelling words when correcting them. It is our state standard to use a dictionary. Writer's circle all "invented spellings" using blue pens to show that they are editing and they edit the entire document first. After they circle all spelling errors, then they go back and they look them up in a dictionary.
