Wilde: 5 Major Spelling Strategies

Spelling is a major aspect in writing, without proper spelling a writer may not be able to get their point across to their reader. Teaching a student how to read, write, and spell is a difficult task. There are 5 different strategies that students can use, or anybody for that matter, in order to improve their spelling: placeholder spelling, human resource, textual resource, generation monitoring and revision, and ownership. Being older and higher in my education, I use a combination of all techniques. Textual resourcing is probably my main technique. When writing on the computer you automatically get a spell checker that allows you to notice what you've spelled wrong and then gives you options for possible corrections. This probably isn't the best technique because you're getting the answers fed to you instead of figuring it out for your own, but it gets the job done. There are times when spell-check can have defects. There may be a word that is spelled right but is not being used in the proper way; in a case like this spell-checker will not inform you that you are incorrect. Overall one spells the way they're the most comfortable, as long as you're getting the job done, all well ends well!
