How to Study Spelling Words

How to Study Spelling Words
When poor spellers begin with the written word, they often try to memorize a spelling as if it were an arbitrary letter string.
Arbitrary strings are terribly hard to remember; think how long it takes to learn a phone number, and then imagine trying to learn 88,500 phone numbers--the estimated number of words in printed school English.
The following strategy helps the student focus on the pronunciation of a word before seeing its spelling. This helps the student understand that a spelling is a meaningful map of the pronunciation. When spellings are understood as pronunciation maps, they are much easier to remember.
