Embarrassed by your spelling? Can't seem to remember spellings? Need to improve your job prospects but your spelling's holding you back? You're not alone, this Spelling Rules Masterclass is here to help you. This unique course is for adults, especially British and American English users who can read and write but need to improve spelling.
Learning spelling rules can significantly boost your spelling and writing confidence because you'll understand why spelling is the way it is with its strange letter patterns, regularities, and irregularities, which means you won't be so frustrated with spelling.
Learning spelling rules will also improve your reading and how to say the word too (this will become clear when you do the first section and discover the magic 'e' silent 'e', drop the 'e' and 1:1:1 doubling up rules).
This course will give you the confidence to write that perfect word that expresses how you feel on an application form, on social media, in letters and emails, when writing reports, and notes to your kid's teacher. Don't let your poor spelling get in the way of being able to have the life, work, education you want.
