Improving Your Spelling Skills in The Modern World

Posted On September 20, 2023

Writing is a big part of our life, even if we don’t realize it. That’s why spelling is so important! Knowing how to spell correctly helps others understand you. It also helps you understand more of what you read. The more you learn about spelling, the more you know about how words work. This knowledge can help you figure out what new words mean, and how to pronounce them.

TIPS :-

• 1- Do something with your mirror besides look at your own reflection. Most of us look in some type of mirror several times in one day. Write a new vocabulary or hard to spell word on a sticky note. Place it on your mirror. Every time you look in the mirror, you will see the word, and in time you will know how to effortlessly spell it.
• 2- Stop relying on spell checking programs. If you always rely on spell check features, you will never be able to rely on your brain. Just don’t make changes with suggestive spellings; pay attention to how the word should be correctly spelled.
• 3- The popular phrase is “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away”. A similar phrase is “a book a day; keeps the brain from freezing away.” The more you read; the more words you learn.
• 4- Most people can’t stop themselves from doodling when they have a pen or pencil on their hands. Why not doodle constructively? Create doodles around hard to spell words (this is a great thing for parents and children alike to do together) and see how quickly you pick up the spelling.
• 5- When you’re reading books, magazines, and newspapers, either jot down unfamiliar words or circle or highlight them (make sure you’re not writing in library books). This will help you learn new words and increase your vocabulary.
• 6- Keep a spelling journal. Every time you come across a word you don’t know, write it down. These can later be used as your mirror words.
