In the section “What do teacher educators know about English spelling? “, 1st Paragraph, the sentence beginning “With so many students having difficulty…”, should read as “With so many students having difficulty with reading, the focus has been on whether teachers are prepared to teach children how to read (e.g., Piasta et al., 2020; Pittman et al., 2020).” In the section “Dialect and Language Influences on Spelling”, 1st paragraph, the sentence beginning “Lastly, some aspects of a students’ dialect…” should read as “Lastly, some aspects of a students’ dialect (Pittman et al., 2014) and home language (Lindner et al., 2022) may show in their spellings (Treiman, 1993) since one must rely on the sounds they hear in words (Read, 1971).” In the section “Dialect and Language Influences on Spelling”, 3rd paragraph, the sentences beginning with “However, spelling tends to be underemphasized, possibly…” and “If the spell check software can recommend… “ should read as “However, spelling tends to be underemphasized, possibly because spelling is not a content area and is not typically included on high-stakes tests (Joshi et al., 2008).” and “If the spell check software can recommend a list of correctly spelled words from which to choose, the writer must be able to discern which word in the list is the correctly spelled word they are intending to use (Moats, 2005).”, respectively. In the section “Teacher knowledge”, 1st paragraph, the sentence beginning “However, teachers in schools…” should read as “However, teachers in schools of varying socioeconomic statuses have been found to perceive their own knowledge to be higher than their actual knowledge (Pittman et al., 2020; Cunningham et al., 2004).” In the section “Data analysis”, 5th paragraph, the sentence beginning “Research shows that having…” should read as “Research shows that having K-12 teaching experience is a significant predictor of teacher knowledge on literacy (Pittman et al., 2020).” The original article has been corrected.
