Methods: a development research work was carried out at the Health Technology Faculty during 2014-2015 academic year. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis and inductive-deductive and the systemic approach; empirical ones: documentary analysis, pedagogical test sample of students and the survey questionnaire to teachers; mathematical and statistical for absolute and relative values. Results: in the documentary analysis of the program and methodological guidelines was detected that spelling is treated briefly, pedagogical test showed significant prevailing misspelling results among students; and the questionnaire applied to teachers, although considered to be well prepared for the methodological treatment of spelling, they did not show their arguments, so methodological actions for training were developed. Conclusions: actions are varied, feasible to be implemented by teachers, regardless of specialty, and were approved by the criteria of specialists for proper methodological approach, its relevance to the solution of the problem, its utility, feasibility and novelty, and among notable aspects related to the achievement of a proposal for common use in all subjects, prior preparation of teachers.
