Questions and Answers

Toward the bottom of this page you'll find a list of the five most recently asked questions together with links to their answers.

If you have a question about the spelling of a certain word, just type the word in the Keyword box, and then in the Topics box select "Why is it spelled ...?"

If your question is about a more general topic, such as twinning or deleting final <e> or distinguishing between its and it's, or if it is even more open-ended, perhaps intended to start a discussion with other teachers, enter a keyword or phrase and select one of the other topics. Usually you will be given a list of previous questions whose answers mentioned your word or topic. If your question hasn't been answered, you will be given a link that allows you to ask your question again.

If you want to post a suggestion to the bulletin board, you may use the Ask a Question form.

I am presently tutoring a Gr. 6 student in spelling skills. She seems to have missed the basics, and truly cannot spell. I would appreciate any ideas, activites and/or resources to help her learn what she has missed. She obviously doesn't want to just turn to a lower grade workbook.
