What are some ways to get help with spelling?

Ways to get help with spelling include taking a spelling course, using a dictionary or asking someone to check for spelling mistakes. There are also activities that can improve spelling; for example, playing word games and keeping a spelling log of challenging words.

When trying to memorize how to spell a word, it may be helpful to use sight, hearing and movement. Looking closely at how a word looks, listening to how the word sounds and then writing the word is typically a good approach to memorizing a word's spelling. Some people find special spelling dictionaries and phonetic dictionaries useful.
