What strategy do you use to help remember a troublesome word to spell?
I try to sound out words I don't know. I can never remember how to spell the word
"Wednesday," because I always forget that there's a silent "d" in the middle. I
say Wensday, but I know it's not spelled like that. So, the strategy I use is simply
to try and remember because to spell it Wensday just doesn't look right.

I can never remember how to spell February. Here's what I do. I break it up into
parts like this― Feb-r-u-ary, and I ask myself the question "Feb, Are You Ary?" I
just have to remember that the first "r" is silent.

I have a problem with words that end in an e. Especially words that are first nouns
and then can be used as verbs. For example, the word "bite" has an e on the end,
but when I change it to a verb like "biting," I have to remind myself to drop the
e. Spell check on my computer really helps me too.
