Spelling Made Easy
The National Spelling Bee Masterclass
The importance of spelling tends to get lost on many, especially in these times when ‘spellcheck’ and autocorrect – on electronic gadgets – are now a given in our daily lives.
Matter of fact, spelling has actually never been more important. Many are those who think, rather erroneously, that spelling and literacy are limited to the teaching of English language, or language in general.
Spelling correctly enhances communication and comprehension. Around 85% of the world is connected online and exchange emails, whilst another 62% of this number use social media in communication.
The risk of misspelling a recipient’s name, for instance, and ending up offending them could be considered ‘negligible’ by some, but misspelling on a medical prescription could be lethal by all standards. The importance of spelling correctly has not lessened; it has rather been heightened in this age of electronic communication.
As spelling and literacy have reached their pinnacle in our history, the demands on the quality of their delivery are right up there as well. English spelling can seem as illogical, where words such as laugh, fraught and kiaugh all have the letters ‘augh’ in them but are sounded differently. Spelling Made Easy is designed to take the sting out of spelling with its comprehensive application of the rudiments of English spelling. Spelling Made Easy is a valuable resource for Educators and students alike.
