Yes, we do agree that schools have a primary role to play in teaching children the nitty-gritty of spelling mistakes. And at the K.R. Mangalam School, we give the needed attention to handle the children’s spelling mistakes and help them overcome their learning problems, thereby improving their overall language skills for the better. Teachers at KRMS understand the learning problems in children and help sort out their spelling mistakes, guiding them until they learn to spell quickly and easily. They regularly review each child’s progress by creating ample opportunities for learning the correct spelling patterns and ingraining efficient language skills in the students’ mind. But for effective learning, it is important that parents do contribute to the development of children and this is why we always request the parents to help us achieve the desired development of their children.
The way you handle your children’s spelling errors can make a big difference to their ability and confidence level. Schools, teachers, and parents together have a role to play in teaching spellings to children at their every level of development. So let’s together dig into how to get it done!
Right off the bat, you have to understand that children who fall behind in learning words and spellings need special attention and should be regularly given the opportunity to overcome their problem. Usually, children tend to mix up letters, forget spellings/words, or even misspell them each time differently. This could be because of various reasons like lack of attention, slow learning, and forgetfulness. Nevertheless, there are several ways in which you can deal with your children’s spelling mistakes, and this can be done without forcing them or being over-demanding.
Try out the tips and suggestions detailed below and we are sure you’ll positively be able to help your beloved child overcome his/her unique learning problems:
Develop auditory/vocal skills:
Good spellers are generally good readers and speakers. So, do get your child his or her favorite books to help develop reading habits and improve their language skills. It is important to restrict watching TV as they cannot talk back or learn anything. It is important that children use the language often while talking, reading, and writing which helps them get the grasp of it. Give your child the opportunity to speak the language with you so that the shyness gets off and they learn it quickly. Let them talk out loud and even spell the words loud while reading books. This way, your kid will pronounce, spell, and learn words better.
