Spelling is very important for young children since it is the basic foundation for a good English education. If one does not know how to spell correctly, then you will have a hard time learning proper English in the future.However, teaching the correct way of spelling might be a challenge, most especially if your kids are very hyperactive and they find study time boring. You certainly don’t want to teach them if their minds are not set to it because they will only end up forgetting it. So therefore, you will need to modify your teaching strategy in order for your kids to listen and learn.One good way for your kids to learn the value of good spelling is for them to try spelling fun words. For example, if your kids love their pet dog or cat, have them spell out the name of their pet in a black board or paper. Once they are finished, check their work and then teach them on how to spell the word if they made a mistake. You can also have a spelling bee and the winner will receive a special prize, like candies or a toy. I’m pretty sure your kids will be doing all they can to learn how to spell right!Making their study lessons a fun experience is the key for them to truly appreciate the value of good learning. Tutoring your kids does not need to be a boring experience. This will encourage them to learn proper English without having to rely on English grammar checkers most of the time.Read moreRead more…

Time and again, I have been asked this question. Since I have been into rewriting and spinning articles, I feel I must do something to clear up the smoke of confusion. Most people think that rewriting is the same as spinning. No, they are not. Rewriting is completely changing the content of the article. You have the entire article before you and you can go ahead and change some of the content or all of it but the thought should still be there. You have complete control of the article, what you can change or not.However, spinning is different. When you “ spin “ an article, you may rewrite some of the words, but it usually comes with a code or a format. You need to follow this “ format “ in order for the “ spinning “ to work. Let me show you an example:I have a catLet’s say you need to spin this article. This is what spinning is:I have [a cat=a furry cat]Now, remember the “ format “ that I talked about? Do you know where it is? It’s the [ = ]. In order for the spinning to work, the word or sentence that you wish to spin (in this example, “a cat “) and the rewritten sentence or word ( “ a furry cat” ), should be encased in the format. Now, if you have this published in the Internet, it will show the original sentence, which is “I have a cat“ but in the other sites, the word “ I have a furry cat “ will appear as well. Amazing, right?That is the power of spinning articles. You can interchange the content of your article. The more you spin, the more “ versions “ of articles is published in the Internet. Most website owners employ the services of web content writers for spinning. Rewriting is also a good method but if you wish to have more results in internet marketing, then spinning an article might work for you.There are many spinning and grammar checkers that you can use in order to make the work easier. In any case, this should solve the mystery and the confusion once and for all. Happy writing!Read moreRead more…
I hate to admit it, but back in my college days, when my English professor comes in to our class, all of us would start groaning. It means all of us would have to endure 1 and a half hour of boring English language lecture. And it always makes me laugh whenever I remember those days. It’s a known fact that a lot of students, teenagers mainly, think that the English subject is boring. And I don’t blame them. However, I do believe that it is not the subject itself which is uninteresting, but the one who is conveying them to the students might be. In simple terms, it is the teacher that might be boring.And because of technology nowadays, most young students are reluctant to study English because of the many grammar checkers and programs available to them today.Believe all you want, but I certainly believe that the education of the students mainly rests in the hands of the capable teacher. Now I’m not saying that all teachers are boring. It’s just that they are mainly teaching based on their experience as a teacher. There are many new techniques in effectively teaching English and yet some teachers scoff at the idea and continue using their old methods. Well, continue doing this and I guarantee most of your students will be sleeping in your face!It’s a rude awakening, but by using these new techniques, then perhaps we can turn around the attention of the students. One way for you to make the classroom livelier is by having a small debate over a topic that interests students. You can check the pronunciation and grammar of the students and then inform them their strengths and weaknesses. This will make them realize that having an English class is not so boring after all.Another thing you can do is make your discussions into some sort of a game. Most students like that and they will be challenged to do their best. You can have a spelling battle in order to test out their grammar skills. There are many ways of making the English class an interesting one.Read moreRead more…
The title was actually what was asked to me by one of my best English teachers. I was flunking my English language class in high school because it was indeed too boring. The fact that I had to stare at the blackboard, trying to absorb all those lessons made me uninterested in the language. Besides, why do I have to learn English anyway? Unfortunately, we all have to. In this modern world, English is the universal language for business and commerce, even with politics! So whether you like it or not, you will have to do something to catch up with that failing grade of yours.Studying is always the first solution that one can come up when it comes to academic problems. However, the problem relies with how the student is studying. A student who is reading a book while facing the T.V will never understand what he or she reads. When you study, use a room without any televisions, radios or other objects that can distract you.Next, use the dictionary, the thesaurus and any available resources available to you. If you have a laptop or a PC, you can try using grammar checkers in order to correct yourselves if in case you want to improve your vocabulary. Read English books. Practice writing English sentences and then check it to see if you have improved. Make it a habit to list down difficult words that you might have encountered while in the course of reading a book or answering your English homework. Study hard and be a dedicated student.Of course, success in your grades in English and all other subjects is dependent on how much you really are passionate with your work. But in any case, determination and perseverance can sometimes be the key to make our studies successful. Keep on reading English books when in doubt; you will learn a lot from them indeed. Also, do not limit yourself with the dictionary. You can also use the thesaurus, which will help you in finding the right synonym for a certain word.Read moreRead more…
Now that we have talked about rewriting, then let us talk about spinning. Spinning is actually the very same such as rewriting, however, there are some things that can be quiet complicated with this technique. Spinning actually makes use of a certain article submission website or to some other English language system that might be able to rewrite or spin articles at a faster pace.Spinning deals with changing some of the words in an original article. So once the article is “spun“ the old words and the newly edited words inside an article move in a cycle whenever they are published to different websites.There are lots of article spinning websites available in the Internet today. Just try using the search engines and Take your pick. However, it is important to check the instructions for the article submission site first. Different article spinning software and websites have different techniques and directions.Also, some spinning websites have a fee before you can even join. One spinning website demands a $50 charge for its members while some are free but the premium account, which has a fee, can give your articles three links and can be submitted to 40 blogs. So it should be a good move for you to check any of these article spinning sites and programs before you get one.Read moreRead more…
Ok, since I was able to tackle the most basic steps in the first article with the same name above, we will now proceed with the more advanced steps in writing like a professional. The next few things that we will discuss have something to with mental and physical preparation before you start writing. These things are very important in order for you to unleash your full potential as a pro writer.Without further ado, let’s begin learning the advanced steps:Mental Preparation – First of all, the mental preparation of a writer should not be taken for granted. Make sure you’ve had a well earned rest and have eaten before you start writing; nothing distracts a writer more than sleepiness or a hungry stomach. When you feel tired of writing and thinking of ideas, give yourself a break. If you need to finish the article as soon as possible, take a deep breath and relax just for about 20 to 30 minutes. If you feel comfortable writing in the wee hours of the night, then take a nap an hour before you start writing. A nap can energize your senses, enabling you to work more efficiently. Drink a warm glass of milk to soothe your nerves.Before writing, release all negative thoughts from your head. A person who has so many things to think about cannot write because of so many mental distractions. It is true; angry people tend to make horrible and heartbreaking stories due to the many feelings of anger hidden inside their minds. So the next time, try releasing any negative thoughts while and before writing an article.Physical Preparation – This is very important as well. Before you start writing, you need to check the room and the table that you will be working on. Make sure that it is comfortable and well—ventilated. The chair should be comfortable as well. Sit straight with your feet flat on the floor while writing. I know your mom or your bossy teachers have told you of this a thousand times, but believe me, they do help while you are writing. It enables proper circulation inside your body, making you more relaxed and more focused in writing.Most writers experience a pain in their wrist while they have been writing for many hours already. When you experience this pain as well, it is important that you stop for awhile and then stand up and stretch your arms. Remember that your health is also a priority and should never be secondary. Take this into your mind the next time you write a long article or story.Well, this is just one part of the Advance series. Watch out for the next one, where we will focus on the many techniques and tools, such as grammar checkers and spinning systems, you can use in writing like a professional. Happy writing!Read moreRead more…

Today, Internet Marketing or otherwise known as Search Engine Optimization, is becoming a very profitable business. A lot of people are now learning the techniques of this profitable business and one of these techniques requires writing articles. You might be surprised but those who can write good articles are very much in demand nowadays. If you happen to be one, then I suggest you start using your talents in order for you to rake in some cash.Now how do you make money just by writing articles? Website promotion is the answer. With so many article submission sites nowadays, you can use the power of writing articles in order to promote a website. Once a website is promoted, it gets higher rankings in Google and any other websites because of increasing web traffic. And because of this, the website becomes more famous and it gets more profit because of many web visitors. This is why most website owners hire writers and article rewriters so they can submit articles in article submission sites and have their websites promoted.Before you start writing articles for website promotion, you need to know how the whole deal works. Once you have written an article, do you just simply post and submit to any article directories and blogs that you can find? Of course not! First, you need to place a link in the article with the use of a keyword. The keyword can be a specific word that links the readers of the article to the website that you are promoting. For example, if you are promoting a website that sells houses, your article will be all about purchasing a house. The keyword can be “buy a house “and you can have that keyword hyperlinked with the URL of the website. So naturally, once someone reads your article and likes it, they will click on the keyword and are automatically sent to the website that you are promoting!This means business for most website owners and they will happily pay article writers for this type of promotion. However, make sure your articles are top-notch as most online surfers only read articles that are of good quality. You might want to use English grammar software if you are in doubt with your grammar skills. In any case, this is one business where you can combine your passion for writing and earning money at the same time.Read moreRead more…

Think of simple words that you can use to convey your hidden feelings and then write it down in a scratch first. The reason for this is that you can minimize erasures in the love letter. Nothing discourages a woman with a badly shaped letter.Next, you need to sound very sincere in your letter. This is to make the reader feel the passion and love that you are trying to convey.

Most beginners are either too excited or too nervous to start writing their own article, novel or any literary piece. It is not surprising because the world of writing can sometimes be cruel. There will always be criticism and comments and you will have to do everything to sharpen up your skills in writing if you want to be recognized as a pro. For those who wish to learn how to write like a professional writer, then you can follow these basic steps.First thing that you need to do is to check what type of literature you are good in. Do you like writing short stories over long ones? Or maybe you like writing poetry than writing a monologue. In either case, you need to choose which of them you want to study and be an expert with. Don’t rush into studying all of them in the same time; you will only end up confusing yourself and wasting your valuable time.Sure, you might say: “Some professional writers can do poetry and novels at the same time “. That is only because those guys have spent so many years practicing each literary art and becoming a pro doesn’t have any shortcuts, period. Even if you use all the English software and grammar checkers available today, there isn’t a single tool that will make you a good writer in a matter of seconds. Determination is the key.Second thing you need to remember is to gauge your English mastery. This means to check your proficiency with the English language. You certainly don’t want to be criticized because of your faulty grammar so you should definitely prepare yourself before deciding to write something. If you want to use jargons or words that are too difficult for normal people, then you might as well check the dictionary to see if there are any other alternate words you can use. People don’t like the idea of having to decipher what you have written; most of them would like to read materials which are straight to the point and easy to understand. Using difficult words makes your writing more difficult to read.Next is selecting a topic that is interesting to everyone. Again, you may have to do some research about this so that you can decide which topic is interesting to people. But then again, what is interesting to you may not be interesting at all to other people. Wise writers know about this so they spend months thinking and deciding before their pens start working. If it’s summer time, you certainly don’t want to write something that is related to winter so use your common sense.Read moreRead more…
Article rewriting is indeed one of the most sought after skills in the Internet world today. When it’s about Search Engine Optimization (S.E.O) or just plain rewriting for blogs and other purposes, article rewriting is becoming more in demand today. However, it is much more complicated than just changing a few words and phrases. When you rewrite articles, you need to rewrite as much as you can but the thought is still there. Sure, you can use as many article checking software as you can, but this is only a temporary resolution. In order to effectively rewrite articles, you need to understand the concept first.First of all, when rewriting articles, think of the format and the size of the articles. For example, if you have a very long article, after you’re done rewriting it should still have the same format and size. Rewriting is not the same as changing everything in the article. This is the most common mistake that new writers do so you need to be very careful about this.The next thing that you need to remember is that you must try to rewrite as much as possible. Just like what I have said in the beginning, if you want to seriously rewrite an article then rewrite as much as you possibly can. Because the danger of you getting caught for plagiarism is a very grave consequence. If you are not confident with your own grammar, you might want to check your spelling and sentence construction skills, as well as your own knowledge with synonyms. Synonyms are very useful in rewriting as you can interchange many words with the use of synonyms, thus your rewriting is improved.If you do not like the idea of spending too much time rewriting, then you might want to use article spinners or grammar checkers so that it can make your work easier. But if you really wish to become an expert in rewriting, then the only secret is determination. Be determined in studying and perfecting the art of rewriting and you will be rewarded greatly.Read moreRead more…

If you have no idea how to do so, then you take the following simple tips:First of all, you have to understand that kids have a strong sense of imagination. Therefore, you can use that when dealing with the English language. Try using pictures and let them pronounce and speak what the picture is. If they make mistakes, correct them gently. Remember that they are still children; therefore you need to be gentle with them. Read them a good story, maybe a fairy tale. Once you are done reading, let them pronounce easy words every day until they familiarize themselves.Next thing you can do is to mix creativity and the English language. For example, you can draw a picture of a cat or a dog and then let them spell it out using colored markers or crayons. It is often a good idea to use this medium as children are very much interested with colors and art. Letting them practice spelling words builds up their confidence and encouraging them makes them more interested in learning good English.You can also have your kids play with computer games that teach good English grammar like Bookworm and others.
