Spelling Strategy No: 1 - Using memory tricks
According to the Oxford Dictionary website there are plenty of words that follow spelling rules but "there are some tricky words you just have to learn like necessary and rhythm". But they don’t tell you how you can learn these 'tricky words'.
Using spelling strategies to remember words is one of the most important aspects of spelling.
To remember a spelling you have to keep writing the word, but if you have problems with it then use a memory trick to fix it in your brain.
Memory tricks could be words-within-words, rhymes, syllable breakdown, knowing the history of the word, any trick to help remember the spelling.
Maybe you have your own memory tricks to remember some of these spellings. If not I've made a video explaining all about how to learn and remember spellings.
This video will be so useful and helpful for you. If not then I will give you your money back.
