37、re are，however，vastly different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority（优先）it must be given over 5 general language development and writing ability.The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities（复杂性
38、）of spelling.

39、ntion to content rather than technical ability.
