Some people seem to be naturally ‘good spellers’; many others find spelling miserably confusing and feel themselves doomed to failure again and again. ‘I’m rubbish at spelling’ and ‘I can’t spell’ and ‘I’ve never been able to spell’ are depressingly familiar self-judgements. Such students need a helping hand if they are to see patterns, for example, in the modifications necessary when adding some suffixes. They need help if they are to learn to utilise their knowledge of one word to help them to spell another. They need to be shown ways of distinguishing between homophones. They need to be shown strategies for learning notoriously tricky words that have to be tackled ‘individually. They need to acquire confidence. Indeed, they need to begin to relish some of the very idiosyncrasies of English spelling that depressed them before, and when they begin to work at words with pleasure the battle is won.
