—ncfton 6na PAGE TWO Is Your Child A Poor Speller? V By BKATRICK UlnmiH.K Mmthu .tmmrUHMi. I*. t\ Poor spelling can pull downs your child’s grades in social I studies, reading, science and] other school subjects, say North'; Carolina’s elementary school I teachers. Many teachers markj down book reports, project note-1 books, and test papers because j they contain spelling and gram matical errors. Why is spelling so difficult for] many children? Learning to spell English is, hard work. Johnny would have an easier time of it. with Span-, ish or Finnish, which are fan more consistent in their rules. Most schools concentrate on; teaching children a list of about 3,000 English root words that make up 98 percent of the words. both adults and children use in j written expression. About 20 percent of these words don t fol-1 low the regular alphabetical, rules, and these are probably] the ones that are giving your! child trouble. Here are ways, suggested in the booklet How To Help Your Child Learn, a publication of the National Education Association, in which parents can help their children improve in spelling: First, make sure that your child has no physical handicaps which may be holding him back —a speech defect, faulty hear ing. or poor vision. If you sus pect anything of the sort, have him examined immediately. Have him make his own dic tionary of "demon words that plague him. Get him a scrap book and have him devote one page to each alphabetical let ter. As he masters the "dem on,” he enters the word on the proper page. Give your child the fun of adventuring with wards En courage him to make a list of new and interesting ones he comes across. Play games with words. Oral riddles are fun. For example: “I'm thinking of a four-letter word that means sharp (keen). Wlial is the word and how do you spell it?’ Or ask him how many "happy" words he knows how to spell (gay. cheerful, merry, smile. • jolly). How many "sad" words? How “holiday" words? Encourage hftn to write fre quent notes—to other children, to relatives —as thank-you’s for parties and gifts. Chock with him to see that all words are spelled properly and that the note is legible. Observe how avidly your child watches television commercials, and turn this interest into a spelling game. Ask him tr hame the products he sees ad vertised. and to spell them. As pirin, automobiles, bread, bottles, soaD. shampoo, shave—the list i endless. Play word games with him stieff as Ghost.- Junior Scrabble. 'Anagrams, Hangman. Give him his own dictionary He will use it faithfully, if you give him the good examnle of "looking up" the spelling of words. Avoid “baby talk" with your preschooler or first-grader. It may be great fun for parents and doting uncles, but it's no help to your child in the teal life of school. Make sure he hears all words clearly and cor rectly pronounced at home.
