Encourage daily reading and writing activities. According to Education.com, students "who are good readers tend to be good spellers." As a person reads she learns the appearance of the word and can later detect if the word looks incorrect. Daily writing gives people an opportunity to practice new words and spelling strategies. Sending letters back and forth to someone is one option that incorporates both reading and writing.
Create a memorization trick, also called a mnemonic device, with words that are difficult to spell. For example, Your Dictionary uses the sentence "that mosquito better quit biting me" as a reminder that mosquito is spelled with the word quit. "My secretary can't keep a secret" reminds the reader that secretary contains the word secret. Students creating their own sentences is even more beneficial.
Keep a "word wall" in an area where the person writes or works. Word walls can feature commonly misspelled words, commonly used words or words that the student personally has difficulty spelling.
Teach a multi-sensory study technique. Look at a difficult word while saying it aloud, read each letter, picture the word and try to spell it in your head. Next, write the word while saying each letter then cover the word and try to write it again. This technique teaches students how to spell by writing and speaking.
Administer tests. Although spelling tests should not be the only method for learning to spell, they encourage memorization.
