THE  SPELLING   BEE   GAME

 

Auto spelling correction is so convenient nowadays when we type on our PCs or iPhone or all the other electronic devices at our fingertips. Does this mean that we have to give up on the skill of correct spelling? Indeed some wonder why one should bother. I certainly think there are very clear reasons why we should persevere in the matter of correct spelling. For one thing, learning the spelling of words trains our memory and helps enormously to store the new vocabulary in deeper levels of the brain. Writing down the word when learning, adds more senses to the learning process and  helps storage in the long term memory.
