What are the factors why students dread spelling?
Ignorance is one. Students can't pin down the right letters of a certain word because they are not familiar with the word.
Laziness to read or lack of interest in reading comes second. How can they spell if they don't even bother to read books, magazines, journals, newspapers, the Bible and other reading materials? They can't even figure out road signs! Parents should be the first ones to instill love for reading. If parents inspire their children to read, only then can students discover words and build their vocabulary.
Addiction to video games takes away precious hours for learning. Students are lured to cut classes just to spend their allowance for video games. Instead of mastering what they are supposed to learn in their academic subjects, they hone abhorrent skills ...violent, murderous, evil, treacherous, greedy and callous. What a waste of youth, what a waste of time. There have been reports of young people instantly dying after long hours of playing video games. They died not even knowing if they could level up in other skills like spelling.
So, what really makes students dread spelling? NOT READING. But, there's still time to save this generation. Promote READING. Knowledge starts from reading. READ NOW and SPELL RIGHT!
