Strategies for Advanced Spelling

• Think About Word Roots: Many English words come from Greek or Latin. Knowing a few common roots (like 'auto', 'bio', 'graph') can help you figure out the spelling of long words.
• Memorise Tricky Words: Some words just don't follow the rules! For these, it's best to use memory aids or mnemonics. For example, 'rhythm' - 'Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move'.
• Use a Dictionary: If you're unsure, don't guess! Looking up a word is the best way to learn its spelling and meaning for good.
• Proofread: Always read back through your work. Sometimes you can spot a mistake just by seeing the word in context.
