Learning Notes
- No
forced memorization or flashcards are needed.
Read ALOUD to memorize the spelling of words.

Approach (RAA), go back and click on the link
RAA.
- The
Understanding Before Memorization
Approach (UBMA): You will naturally learn the
correct spelling of words through understanding the
reasons as to why words are spelled the way that they
are: logic
+ reading aloud + repetition = memorization
- Read
the words associated with a rule immediately after
learning a rule.
- The
vowels are a, e, i, o,
u, sometimes y (sky, happy),
sometimes w (few) and sometimes
the u is not a vowel but a w (lingual).
- The
consonants are the rest of the letters: b, c, d, f,
g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, qu, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, and,
z.
- All
words are divided into syllables. A syllable can be
a small word (me) or a small part of a word
that has one vowel sound in it, as in: (me
in media) (go in going) (i
in idea)
- Italic
letters in this book mean silent letters,
like the silent p in receipt.

Note
about the Vowels
Each
vowel acts as if it were ten or more letters. For instance,
the long sound of the vowel "E" acts like
10 letters. There are ten ways to spell the long sound
of the vowel "E": ee, ea, EE, ei, ie, ey,
y, e, i, i-e as in these examples:
- EE
(meet)
or ea (meat)
- e+consonant+silent
e
(compete)
- ei
(receive)
or ie (believe)
- ey
(donkey)
or y (lucky)
- e
(he) or i
(bikini)
- i+consonant+e
(elite)
The
one sound of the long vowel "E" is spelled
in ten ways (10 phonics). Each phonic acts as
if it were a new letters that can be added to the English
alphabet. Correct spelling cannot be achieved
until each phonic is learned through intense practice.

Comment
From the Author
- You
will memorize best if you don't try to force memorization.
Relax and read aloud and learning will occur naturally.
Do not waste your energy trying to memorize. If you
read aloud, you will learn to spell 100's of words
at a time.
- Some
learn within weeks or months after using this method.
Some may need less or more time.
- You
need to follow all of the instructions given to you
rigorously. You MUST read aloud for memorization
purposes or you will NOT learn the spelling of words.
You will always have all the words associated with
every spelling rule grouped and made available for
you to read them aloud.
