I can not spell, but i have a large vocabulary. So i constantly use a thesaurus to find out the spellings of word. I do this by using searching up the basic version of a word and finding the more complex version of the word. My spelling is like a ten years olds, when i used to do spelling test i would usually get 2 out 20. I lied to my parents in grade 6 telling them i didn't do spelling tests because i hated telling them how i did. Because i type it has actually made my spelling better, because when spell check do not know what i am saying i learn how to spell the word right. Even through reading is hard i try to do it as much as possible because i want to expand my vocabulary. I have got it on my IEP that my teachers can not mark me down for my spelling and so they just focus on the content. I used to be self conscious of my spelling but now i do not care, if i need help spelling anything i just ask who ever if closet to me. Teachers now that i am smart, that care about if i have the idea and know the content. Once upon a time i tried using a dictionary but that just took to much time, and was especially hard when i didn't now the first letter of the word. Please leave comments of the words you/ someone you know always has trouble spelling.
The hardest basic words for me are/were
where and were
their and there
are and our
how and who
know and now- still one of the hardest for me
anything that ends in ought and tion
taught, though, and thought
and the day of the week
ps i usually do not use contractions because i am scared i will spell them wrong, i have only recently started using them, it also makes all my texts look really formal
