In light of the spelling bee last week, it got me thinking about how I learn to spell words that are particularly difficult.
For example, I know how to spell the word secretary because I imagine that a secretary keeps a secret.
or
I know how to spell embarrass because I imagine two red cheeks (2 x r) when I'm '2 shy' (2 x s).
Do you have any ways that help you remember to spell specific words?
