Spelling tips?
(Im not fixing misspelled words in on purpose to show how bad it is)
Hi so im 19 and about to graduate with my Assosiats degree in childhood education (1st-6th grade) and I have a really hard time spelling. Ive had an issue with spelling for as long as I can remember and used to get extra help with it in elementary school but once I hit middle school I guess there wasnt a program for me or no one saw an issue since a lot of assignments were online and I had auto correct.
Thats currently how im getting by in college, auto correct and voice typing are my life line, but I dont want to religh on them anymore especialy when I wont be able to when im teaching in a classroom.
Im pretty sure the main issue with my spelling is because when I was in early elementary school I was told to sound things out to spell them, but it isnt the case with a lot of words and I never broke that habit. I can usually recognise when I spell a word wrong bc it looks wrong but it takes me a minute to figure out the correct spelling and a lot of the time I cant even tell which one is right or not and have to look it up.
I know I should have gotten help sooner because of my career choice but ive only known what I want to do for about a year and its genuanly so embarising I just wanted to ignore the problem.
I know this makes me sound stupid but I swear im not I actually have a 3.97 GPA (flexing) I just cant spell :(

-read a lot: seeing words correctly spelled often enough should help you notice when you write a word wrong.
-online spelling games for students: I did these all the time as a kid. They’re organized by grade, usually. I’d just start with 2nd grade and look from there (not that I think you have 2nd grade spelling; you just don’t wanna get too...... reply
But I think the more you read (books, forums, etc.), the more you’ll recognize words you’ve used but misspelled. For example, I’m sure online you haven’t seen the word religh. You’ll see it as rely. Everytime you type, think about have you seen it before spelled like that. Also instead of using autocorrect by tapping the word, just type i...... reply
