Tips that may improve your spelling:
1. The number one thing that bolsters your spelling ability is reading. The two are so inherently linked that it is almost impossible to be a good speller without being a good reader.
2. Exposing yourself to different types of text will increase your knowledge of the way things are spelt. Through reading newspapers, novels, blogs, even billboards, your brain memorises spelling patterns.
3. Becoming familiar with root words will also help. We get confused with prefixes and suffixes sometimes and forget the word's spelling. By singling out the root word, we take away half the problem!
4. Writing frequently also helps you to spell with more precision. You will quickly learn which words “look right” and if not, never hesitate to consult a dictionary. Once you’ve written a word correctly a few times, you will start to remember this.
