question

Listen to the word. Then, spell it.

key idea

Spelling can be a little tricky sometimes, but there are a few strategies that can help you.

One strategy is to think about the syllables in a word. For example, think about the syllables in legislate and experiment.

leg + is + late

ex + per + i + ment

Another strategy is to think about the parts in a word. For example, think about the parts in reorganize, astounding, and disruptive.

re + organize

astound + ing

dis + rupt + ive

Sometimes words are spelled differently than they sound. Try spelling the word a few different ways and see which one looks like a word you've seen in books.
