Importance of good spelling techniques
According to the article, “How to Spell” by John Irving, the author states that most individuals face difficulties with spelling. He proposes that with applying certain techniques we can overcome these obstacles with spelling. It is important for writers to possess good spelling techniques because this will allow the writers to convey a clear message, and also good spelling promotes credibility among audience members, and finally, good spelling will create a good impression among readers. The purpose of this paper is to explain the above importance of good spelling techniques in writing.
Good spelling techniques will allow the writers to pass a clear message to the audience. This is because good spelling ensures easy reading and comprehension among the readers. Proper spelling techniques help to cement the connection that is shared between sounds and letters. When both readers and writers follow the same rules for spelling words, the readers are able to clearly understand the message being conveyed to them hence streamlining communication between the two parties(Matthews, Pg. 2). Good spelling also helps to avoid confusion arising from misspelled words. Bad spelling can often change the meaning of the message to be passed or make the message to be unclear. It is thus important to ensure good spelling techniques so as to pass a clear message to the target audience.
Good spelling also helps promote credibility among the readers. Proper spelling ensures that the proper meaning of the words is got from a text. Since the same spelling rules apply to most words, the readers are able to understand the message passed in the same manner. This uniformity ensures trustworthiness among different readers (Matthews, Pg. 2). Good spelling also ensures that the message intended by the writer reaches the audience without a change in the intended meaning. For most writers with good spelling techniques, the audience members are able to have a common understanding of the writer’s text. This helps promote credibility among the target audience.
Good spelling will help create a good impression among the readers. According to (Matthews, Pg. 2), Readers easily notice spelling mistakes before anything else. These spelling mistakes portray the writer as being lazy and may make the reader wonder whether the writers thinking and reasoning are similarly inexact. On the other hand, accurate spelling reflects more advanced knowledge; this is because good spelling plays a very fundamental part of a language. Good spelling techniques also display good proficiency in the language of the writer. People with good spelling techniques have a wide choice of words hence are able to communicate effectively. This creates a good impression on the readers.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is important to adhere to good spelling techniques. This will ensure proper communication between the target audience and the writer. Good spelling techniques also display the proficiency in the language of the writer hence making a good impression in the readers. It is therefore important to conduct effective spelling instructions to learners which would help in the understanding of phonological, orthographic and morphological requirements in words. Tutors and teachers should educate the learners on the spelling rules and come up with activities that promote the awareness of these rules. Students should be provided with enough coaching using given words so as to enhance spelling.
