Writing, the Best Strategy to Memorize Spelling Rules.

Getting children to learn the spelling rules is a task that generates more than some frustration. This is so because they are not always learned properly and that is reflected in what is written. In this sense, it is worth asking: What strategy is the most recommended to achieve memorization of the enormous variety of rules? The answer is very simple and this is writing. If spelling rules are written manually, they are better memorized.

According to new research developed by Pan Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer, it was possible to show that those students who take notes, remember more details, improve their conceptual understanding, increase their ability to generalize information and even improve long-term memorization.

With that being said, there are strong enough arguments to review the spelling rules by writing them, that is why I’m sharing an exceptional booklet made by Editorial Santillana which teaches how to memorize the following spelling rules:

• Upper case and lower case
• Capital letters in proper names
• The period and the capital letter
• Questions
• Exclamations
• Words with strong r
• Word separation
• The comma in enums
• Augmentatives and diminutives
• Syllable
• The accent
• Alphabetical order
• Words with ca, que, qui, co, cu
• Words with za, ce, ci, zo, zu
• Words with s
• Words with s, c and z

You will be able to see each page of the booklet and download it in pdf at the end of the article.
