This Saturday, October 9, is International English Spelling Day!
Look around for misspelled words on signs, in newspapers and magazines, and other print materials. Play spelling and word games alone or with your friends. Read a dictionary - seriously!
Check out this website: http://home.vicnet.net.au/~ozideas/spday.htm for more information. The site includes games, spelling tests, and interesting information about why we spell words the way we do. One article talks about what writing was like before we had dictionaries, and people spelled any way they wanted.
I encourage you to check it out!
