Making a Spelling Log
This book gives you a place to keep word lists of your own.
It’s called a SPELLING LOG! You can make a Spelling Log on
page 125.
While you read, look for words that are INTERESTING.
Listen for NEW WORDS used by people on radio and television.
Include words that you need to use when you WRITE, especially
words that are hard to spell.
Before you write a word in your Spelling Log, check the spelling.
Look up the word in a DICTIONARY or a THESAURUS, or ask
for help.
To help you understand and remember the meaning of a word,
write a DEFINITION, a SYNONYM, or an ANTONYM. Use your
word in a sentence.

Study Steps to Learn a Word
Use these steps in this order to help you remember the spelling of a word.
SAY
the word.
Remember a time when you have heard the word used. Think about what it
means.
LOOK
at the word.
Find any prefixes, suffixes, or other word parts you know. Try to picture the word
in your mind. Think of another word that is related in meaning and spelling.
SPELL
the word to yourself.
Think about the way each sound is spelled. Notice any unusual letter patterns.
WRITE
the word on paper.
Check the way you have formed each letter. If you have not written the word
clearly or correctly, write it again.
CHECK
what you have learned.
Cover the word and write it. If you cannot spell the word correctly, practice
these steps until you can write it correctly.
