THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO ENGLISH SPELLING RULES is the most complete and detailed guide to English spelling rules ever written. Most people consider English spelling to be an intimidating tangle but John Fulford easily and carefully leads the reader through the linguistic maze and proves that there is a great deal of logic to English spelling. Written for the layperson, the book explains all and every spelling problem with plentiful examples and illuminating comments. The reader learns when to use a single or a double l. When to use the diphthongs oy and oi, and the difference between the "shuns" tion, sion, cion, tian, cian, xion, ssion, sian. And there's plenty more! THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO ENGLISH SPELLING RULES is the 'Must Have' book for every teacher, editor and writer, as well as an extraordinarily valuable aid for parents and for foreign students learning English.
This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.
Native English speakers are taught English spelling rules and the spellings of over 3,000 common words which disobey them, yet many still make numerous spelling errors. This book helps poor spellers to improve their skills by showing readers exactly what learning to spell actually involves.
