Language skills are great but often today too many people get and give criticism on people with less than average grammar etiquette . Also I had a adjunct teacher in college that not so great writing skills even though he himself had a B.A in his occupation . When he admitted that to the class , I myself could relate to that . Nothing to be ashamed of, not all people possess expert grammar skills . We work with the best with what we have . The monolog here at 2:23 sums up my objective of commentary - " Spelling is not a sign of intelligence." Lastly the technology has given me a alternative to living and relearning grammar skills. Drawback the English language has re-evolved since the access to the cyber world has come of age making us all co-dependent life choices and sometimes a victim to it .
I have had many concussions, TBI's, blown out my shoulders, an elbow, knees, and had a triple infusion in my neck. I obviously cannot do what I have been doing and now am disabled. I hate handouts, I finally found a job that I can do if I learn to spell. To top it off I have dyslexia. The meds I am on, and my ,and is very forgetful. I have to do this to properly provide for my family. These are very helpful tips but WOW I never realized how hard spelling is and sounds. IE Bomb, and then you have tomb, why doesn't it sound like TOM, like bomb. I have a long road ahead of me and your suggestions helped a lot thank you.
English certainly isn't an easy language because of all the different ways to spell the same sound! Maybe learning with TTRS could help you? www.readandspell.com/for-adults
I had the same problem: What I would have done is: 1. write down every word you don't know while reading. 2. search how to say _______ word on google or using a tool that works for you. Then just keep re-reading the page over and over again. 3. Use "Quizlet plus" to test you're self on the words you don't know using spelling mode. 4. This well take a lot of discipline and patience and is very time consuming. Don't forget to teach your self the phonetics, how the lips move with the letters, and short and long vowels. If there is anything I'm missing point it out please. if some one is reading this and needs more help go to a adult literacy centre,
It's never too late to learn. Did you know that learning to type with TTRS can also help to improve your reading and spelling? www.readandspell.com/for-adults
What you said was very helpful if you were to do a more in-depth teaching session with people following you in commenting she would get a lot of viewers and it would help a lot of people who are adults and have trouble spelling even though they are intelligent otherwise
Thanks, we run regular webinars about TTRS and also ad hoc ones about specific things, maybe you and others would like an interactive one specifically for adults.
Please don't be hard on yourself, we all have our own strengths and challenges. Even if spelling doesn't come naturally to you, there are strategies that can help you to improve including the use of assistive technology.
I know how to spell. I use to know how to spell, but google and putting in comments on youtube has made feel like I don't know to spell anymore. Everyrime I see a red mark, it irritates me!
That's an interesting idea. I know spellcheck assistance is a very welcome tool to many of my friends and family and allows them to focus more on getting their ideas down onto paper rather than having to stop and start to think about the correct spelling.

Yes, a person's ability to spell definitely doesn't reflect their intelligence. We all have different strengths and areas of difficulty.

0:45 “Difficulties with spelling can result in people simplifying their written language, and therefore not reflecting their true vocabulary.”
Is this something you have experienced too?
❤ nice lesson sister
Thank you, glad you found it helpful.

Nice video👍👍☺️
Good. Suggestion: A lapel microphone would be improve your sound.
Thanks for the good advice, this was recorded a few years ago.
@@readandspell I got you.
Nice video.

I just suck at spelling.

Ha ha, what can be helpful for many people can also be annoying for others! I think overall having this kind of help is a positive.
Remove your keyboard spelling assistant.
