Ways to Enhance your Spellings
Orthography, the science of spelling, can be tricky, taxing and sometimes intimidating. However, if we plan astutely, we can certainly excel in spelling. Following are a few ways to enhance our spelling: Keep a track of the difficult words: It is prudent and advisable to keep a track of the words that an individual finds difficult. Keeping all the daunting words in a single place will allow us to revise them on a regular basis in a structured way. Use mnemonics: A mnemonic is a trick used to memorize a certain bit of information. Mnemonics can be superlatively useful when we try to recollect something. They can act as referents for tough spellings. Learn Common Prefixes and Suffixes: Many English words include Greek and Latin roots and affixes. When we memorize these word parts, spelling gets easier. Aware of silent letters: We need to be acutely conscious of silent letters in a word; we need to ignore them while speaking, but include them while writing.
