What does your spelling say about you behind your back?Vos Savant has written a comprehensive book about spelling and offers an excellent bibliography of books covering spelling. I would recommend this book for spellers at all levels. Parents could even use her recommendations to help their children become better spellers. She also lists several web sites, some of which I have previously listed in other articles or on my links page, but I will include them all here for your convenience. The book: The Art of Spelling: The Madness and the Method The web sites Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee Simplified Spelling Society Society for the Preservation of English Language and Literature (SPELL) American Dialect Society Dictionary Society of North America American Name Society Modern Language Association Linguistic Society of America American Literacy Council National Council of Teachers of English Spelling Doctor You can also read more about spelling bees in a previously published article in this topic, A Literate Insect.
