Easy Learning English Spelling
THIS #BOOK from #Collins #Webster’s is #suitable for #everyone who wants to know more about #spelling and who wants to #write more #accurately and #impressively.
The book uses #simple #explanations, backed up with #examplesdemonstrating each #point, to #describe the #important features of #English#spelling. It also points out the most #difficult #words to spell and offers ways of learning these.
The book begins with a clear explanation of how the #letters and #groups of letters regularly correspond to certain #sounds, and then looks at the #reasons why the spelling of some words does not match the sound. Next, it looks at recurring #patterns and #rulesthat you need to be #familiar with in order to #understand and predict how the #majority of words are spelled.
The last part of the book is concerned with words whose spellings are not easy to predict: it provides some practical #advice on learning tricky spellings and then looks at #tricky words themselves, showing why each can present pitfalls even to experienced users of English.
All of the #hard words that are examined in this book are listed in an #alphabetical index at the end of the book. You can use this index both as a resource for checking the #correct spellings of tricky words and also to point you to the book’s explanations and useful tips for #memorizing many of the words.
English spelling can sometimes appear to be a chaotic affair, with the spellings of words such as choir, colonel, laugh, and yacht having little relation to the way that the words are
pronounced. Yet there are rules and patterns at work in the spelling system, and it is possible to become a good speller by mastering relatively few of these simple rules and patterns.
Collins Webster’s Easy Learning English Spelling is designed to help you with this task, and is a #valuable #resource for all users of English.
