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
