Question

i'm good at every thing else but spelling.

Answer 1

It's actually really hard to give you just one good way of learning. Everyone has a different learning style, and as you say you are good at everything else, it may be that you don't learn to read visually, by recognizing word shapes (the most common way people learn to spell) and so your spelling is not as strong as your other skills. There are certainly lots of strategies you can try:

Reading - the one I recommend most!

Writing down words you often spell wrongly - this uses a different part of your brain and helps you to remember the correct spelling.

Learning about words in groups of similar spellings - such as words with ie (field, yield, shield) or ei (receive, retreive, ceiling) - a good spelling book will help with this process.

Apart from this, there is lots of online help at:

Remember that everyone learns a little differently, so try some different techniques to see which ones work best for you. Good luck!

Answer 2

Good spelling evolves from an understanding of Latin roots.
Rather than learn to spell every word there is, learn enough Latin to grasp the origin of words, and spelling becomes a simple logic
exercise. A scary word like antidisestablishmentarianism is a piece of cake with an understanding of the various parts that make up the word. Some you already know: anti means against, so does dis. Go for it!

Answer 3

use spell check everytime you type anything and take note of what you're doing wrong on particular words. Also, use the dictionary every day and choose 5 words that you have difficulty spelling. Write each word 5-10 times each, then review each list daily.
