Students in Grade 7 and Above Need to Improve Their Spelling Skills, eReflect Finds
New York City, NY (PRWEB) August 05, 2013 -- eReflect, developer of Ultimate Spelling™ software, revealed today that spelling software like theirs is not designed solely to address the needs of 7 and 8 year old children, but of a wider age group, including teenagers. Expressing the company’s concern over language abuse through texting, eReflect emphasized how imperative it is to instill good spelling habits and knowledge from early grades onward. The fact that texting requires brevity and values quick response over correct spelling and grammar is not enough of an excuse for abusing language and breaking its rules, eReflect stated. Spelling skills are important for the proper use of language and the facilitation of communication. When young people break the spelling rules using abbreviations and other spelling adaptations, they might save a few seconds per text message, but the impact this language abuse has is harmful and enduring.
For eReflect, creator of Ultimate Spelling™, texting is a dangerous trend among people that needs to be abandoned. The company explained how young people with poor spelling habits often get that way because “it’s trendy and everybody does it,” not because they’ve got no other option. eReflect stated that students at Grade 7 and above, the group that spends the most time texting on their phones, could benefit from spelling practice, despite the time they spent learning spelling in their early years. eReflect noted that due to its ubiquity, text messaging in a young students’ life can contaminate their spelling, typing, and even speaking skills.
A valid and efficient way to counteract these habits is to encourage young students to practice spelling, either through various spelling activities and games available via spelling software or online. eReflect insisted that it’s high time a new trend replaced the harmful one. Students need to be encouraged to use proper grammar and spelling that highlights the language’s beauty and appeal. Young students need to be reminded that language is flexible, but without following its rules, the whole communication channel will be broken down or become faulty. Spelling improvement through spelling games and activities can assist young people to return to the proper use of language when texting, eReflect concluded.
