If you're like me, you tell your kids stories about how the world was different when you were young.
My stories involve a Commodore 64 with a black and white screen and a floppy disk drive. No cell phones. No internet. My kids can't imagine it.
And then I tell them that someday they'll tell their own kids about a world before AI. And their kids won't be able to imagine it either.
We're in the middle of something moving faster than most of us can keep up with. And it's raising real questions about what still matters in the classroom.
Such as ... is there any point to teaching spelling anymore?
After all, students can just let AI transcribe their writing.
True. But spelling instruction isn't just about spelling. It's about reading too.
Researcher Catherine Snow put it this way: knowing the spelling of a word makes the mental representation of it sturdy and accessible for fluent reading.
AI can fix spelling. It can't build reading brains.

Just a note
We are currently rebranding from The Measured Mom, which was our business name for 13 years.
Because of that, you will still see themeasuredmom.com on many of our resources.
We hope to complete the entire transition by the end of 2026.
