In order to know how to take and leave accurate messages, you need to know how to spell. That means you need to be able to both spell what you want to and also understand what the other person is saying and how it's written.
We can place letters of the English alphabet into 7 groups, according to the sounds of the letters. Look at the chart below and see how we do it. This will help you understand the letters better when someone is spelling a word such as a product name or email address.
Think of two or three different names or words that you find difficult to spell. Write them down, then use the chart to help you think about how to improve the way you say them – this will help you understand the spelling better when you listen so you can write words down more easily. |
