How Can I Fix my English Spelling?
The best way to fix spelling in English is to learn how to spell, which can take a long time and is not the most entertaining way to spend your time. However, doing this will certainly repay you over time, as it becomes much easier to spell and to write quickly and effectively.
The only way to learn how to spell words is to make sure that when you learn new words, you also learn how to spell them. Break them down into sounds so that they become easier for you to identify with and, if needed, use some kind of picture of the word in your head, so that it is easy to recall it when you need it.
Spell checkers as well as grammar checkers can be very useful tools in learning how to spell, since they will identify any words that are not correct and suggest the correct spelling. (A grammar checker will identify any words that have not been spelled appropriately due to mistakes in grammar). Some people insist that their use will simply make a student reliant on the checking package: but this is not the case. The reality is that the checker can be used as a tool for learning, so if you have used ‘there’ instead of ‘their’, then the checker will highlight this and all the student has to do is to learn why it wasn’t correct to use ‘there’. In this way, spell and grammar checkers are really useful tools and they act as a kind of online back up which teaches you at the same time as correcting your work.
