It may be best then just to drop spelling.  I think Johanna's "g" is what I am calling "sentence roles in b" though her title is a good bit more explanatory -- so what how about ...

1.  What to teach (scope)
   a.  parts of speech
   b.  sentence roles; i.e., Constituent structure at the phrasal and clausal level 
   c.  sentence / clause types
   d.  punctuation
   e.  spelling
   f.  tense, aspect, mood, and voice

I'd be interested in participating in a, b, c, and d and have a paper or two in the area that may be useful.  As for part two I am interested in post-secondary.
