English spelling is so tricky that it even frustrates accomplished writers. As author Laura Ingalls Wilder so eloquently expressed, "The only stupid thing about words is the spelling of them." E-Z Spelling begins with a look at the why spelling is so difficult, the limitations and pitfalls of spellcheckers, how to use spellcheckers to better advantage, and study tips. From there, E-Z Spelling explains rules and their exceptions and offers techniques for learning and remembering them, provides study lists of commonly misspelled and commonly confused words, and includes extensive opportunities for practice. This book can be used in classrooms or as a self-help guide for anyone looking to improve spelling confidence and abilities. E-Z Spelling is available at all major bookstores.
