Sp: spelling.
The list below includes 202 of the words that people most often misspell. The Keables Guide includes it for two reasons: to spare you the trouble of consulting a dictionary, and to allow students with spelling problems to review frequently misspelled words. If the word your teacher marked is not on the list below, look it up.
Here is a suggestion to improve your spelling. You already know how to spell most of the words below, but you probably do not know the spelling of all of them. Read the list, copy the words of which you are uncertain, make your own personal checklist, and make flash cards to drill yourself on the spelling.
