OREGON STATE COLLEGE Good spellers are made, not born, and they're made mostly from desire, correct pronunciation, and knowing the meaning of words to be spelled, according to an Oregon State college pro fessor who is- author of a new spelling book for high school stu dents. Ned D. Marksheffel, assistant professor of education, says spel ling is "sold short" by too many students, who fail to realize that spelling is basic to writing and that it is an extremely import ant subject. Many factors are involved In spelling intelligence, ability to read, background of experience, etc. but the average student can learn to be a good speller if he wants to and if he works at it, Marksheffel insists. His method for studying spel ling includes these steps: know the meaning of the word; be able to pronounce it correctly; break the word down in syllables; say it aloud; and then write it. Special emphasis is placed on knowing the meaning of words to be spelled. "Learning to spell words which have no meaning may be a fine form of mental gymnastics, but it is not con ducive to spelling growth", he says. Here are some other sugges tions: Always learn to pronounce the word clearly and distinctly. Re search by spelling experts has shown that a person needs to know how to pronounce a word before he can spell it correctly. Library and government, for ex ample, are often misspelled be cause they're misproniunced "libary" and "government". Review is important. Within 24 hours from the time you learn new words, have someone test you on them again, he advised students. The dictionary is a great help in "studying" words, Markshef fel points out. It helps ont only with definitions but also with Printing Is Our Businessl Call Us; pronunciation and with break- Now. Gazette Times Printing shop ing the word down into syllables. Boyd G.
