Happy Friday!

Memorizing the spelling of words can be difficult. Here are some helpful hints on how to memorize words for your mini-quizzes.

First, use more than one method. IF you are one of the few students who are regularly making 100% on your quizzes, keep up the good work. If not, your current method of studying probably isn't working for you and you need to try something new.

Second, investigate what has made other people successful. If you know someone who makes better grades than you, ask them how they study and maybe even ask them to practice with you.
