Education: Extra curriculum: The easy way to learn to spell
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ENGLISH spelling is not as difficult or as illogical as it seems, once you understand it. Try telling that to a seven- year-old who finds spelling as difficult as tying shoe laces when late for school.
Spelling for Parents, to be published on 27 October by Piccadilly Press, offers refreshingly easy strategies for parents to use with children encountering difficulties with spelling.
Written by Jo Phenix, a reading specialist, and Doreen Scott-Dunne, a teacher, the book rubbishes the mythology of spelling typified by remarks like 'some people can spell and some people can't, and that's the way it is'. Not true they say, some have more difficulties spelling but that does not mean we give up on them.
An optimistic book which would also be useful to adults with spelling problems.
