Product Description:
THE STUDY SMART SERIES, designed for students from junior high school through lifelong learning programs, teaches skills for research and note-taking, provides exercises to improve grammar, and reveals secrets for putting these skills together in great essays.
Spelling Simplified uses logic and simple explanations to lead the student through basic techniques for learning to "hear" how a word is spelled, to master irregularities, and to spell larger words by knowing how to spell the smaller words and syllables inside them.
Millions of people want to learn to spell correctly, but they fear the task will be tedious and painful. Now, with the unique, logical approach presented in Spelling Simplified, anyone can become a skilled speller quickly and easily. Through the use of simple and effective exercises and tips, Spelling Simplified illustrates what many poor spellers forget-that the way a word is spelled is closely related to the sound and meaning of that word.
Chapters devoted to syllables and stress, patterns in the language, consonant clusters, and vowel-consonant combinations are included, each complete with its own set of examples and exercises. From the simplest root words through longer words derived from foreign languages, Spelling Simplified guides you through basic techniques for learning how to "hear" a word, how to master irregularities, and how to form large words from smaller ones. Breezily written and easy to use, Spelling Simplified shows that mastering spelling can be painless--and even fun.
Summary: Turned spelling into a game by explaining the rules
Rating: 5
The first book that laid out the reasons behind the inconsistencies in spelling so that I could remember how to spell formerly tricky words. The exercises and self-checking quizzes at the end of each short chapter were fun and rewarding. The index of commonly misspelled words continues to be useful. I recommend it for anyone who never really learned how to spell well in school.
