The results show that teachers incorporate methodologies in their classes to strengthen their spelling. It is concluded that a small group of students has adequate spelling ability, the majority is in the process of achieving it, while a significant group of students present difficulties, finding greater limitations in the application of rules and use of punctuation marks, use of capital letters. and clarity in the expression of ideas and meaningful learning is related to spelling because adequate writing of texts allows the student to better assimilate the contents.
