Let's take a look at the medical model, to understand better what challenges that are hidden and not easily understood, and then learn using strength-based approaches to support the individual or yourself.

This spelling strategies section is filled with lots of useful techniques and information. The English language can seem complicated and confusing. This is because the sounds generally match up to the letters in a variety of ways (see Phonic Alphabetic code chart for clarification of this point). Therefore to be a good speller you need to learn how to use your memory more effectively.
