single misspelled word in a sentence can turn it into nonsense. These days, students do not put in the effort to check the spelling in their papers. They rely too much on computers to correct misspelled words for them. Most often, words are misspelled because they sound similar such as in the case of homophones. (Homophones are words that share the same pronunciation. However, they differ in definition and sometimes spelling.)
Although homophones can make spelling more difficult, anyone with patience can spell like a pro. The best way to learn how to spell correctly is to carefully look at how the word is used in the sentence. Another way is to read more books and to look up definitions in the dictionary. Though these are only a few suggestions, they definitely will help improve grades.
