So many people spell badly, because they don`t have a strategy to help them to learn to spell.

Think you can never remember a phone number?
Think you or your children can`t spell?

A simple group strategy session will help you to find the way and show you how many people cheat when they spell this frightening English language. This method is Magical Spelling * - it works like magic, and remember things you really need to know, such as phone numbers, PIN numbers, chemical formulae etc. Most children/adults will learn in one session, some may require a little longer.

What is Magical Spelling

‘Magical Spelling’ is a visual learning strategy which allows people to easily remember the spelling of English words.

Why learn it?

Spelling is a capability, learnt easily by many, more difficult for some, and a huge challenge for others. 

This way of learning to spell isn’t magical at all, it’s very ordinary.  As far as we know nearly everyone who can spell English words consistently and accurately uses it.  It is only magical for those many people who have tried to use other mental strategies to learn to spell and despite many long hours of study have failed.  These people, many of them very intelligent, are often branded lazy, stupid or careless. They sometimes believe it themselves.  Specific difficulty with spelling may affect many areas of their lives:

·                     how they think of and esteem themselves as learners;

·                     the interests they pursue;

·                     how they are perceived by others;

·                     and in adulthood, the jobs they might go for.

In addition to preventing mis-spellings, “Magical Spelling” allows writing to become more fluent, and reading to become faster, smoother and more accurate.

What is the Magical Spelling Strategy?

The strategy for magical spelling, uncovered by Robert Dilts in the field of NLP, is a description of the way most good spellers spell.  They write or think of a word.  Then they check the spelling of that word against a ‘dictionary’ they have in their visual memory.  If their word is the same as the one in their ‘dictionary’ they get a feeling that tells them it’s correct.  If they don’t have the word, or the word they have written doesn’t match, a different feeling tells them to look it up.

* Magical Spelling - has been created by Cricket Kemp of NLP Northeast and Learning Excellence, I am indebted to Cricket not only for teaching this to me, but also to my son Jacob who was at the time 13 and it was his first introduction to NLP.
