Abstract


Library learning resources have the potential to transform language competencies. This paper aims to investigate whether daily reading activities can substantially influence spelling competence. A qualitative research approach was administered. Findings revealed that (i) one-on-one tutoring improves spelling, and (ii) collaborative learning spaces have positive impact on language development. This study concludes that a shift in language teaching-learning approaches is not only necessary but also promising, with daily reading activities being a potential core practice.
