I believe that this book, the only one of its kind of which I am aware, answers that age-old question, "How can I find the correct spelling of a word by looking it up in a dictionary if I cannot spell the word to begin with?" This book lists words by their common, phonetic spellings (spelled the ways they sound). I have been tutoring/teaching English at a college for nearly thirty years, and whenever I introduce this book to a student, he or she is very enthusiastic about it! This book can be very helpful.
This "pint sized" book is a wonderful aide in helping those of us who are poor spellers. It is difficult to look up the correct spelling of a word, when you don't know how to spell it correctly, or even close to correctly, to begin with. This book is the answer to that problem. I only wish it contained more words. SIMILAR ITEMS: |
