  4. Spelling Tips Writing frequently also helps you to spell with more precision. You will quickly learn which words “look right” and if not, never hesitate to consult a dictionary. Once you’ve written a word correctly a few times, you will start to remember this.

  5. Spelling Tips Remember your spelling rules I before E except after C Receive, deceive, believe (has a lie in the middle) Desert, dessert Break longer words into syllables – traditional (tra - di – tion – al) Don’t rely on spell checkers Drop the e with ing Use it or lose it!
