Riassunto

Anyone who speaks and writes English must have noticed that English words are not spelled the way they are pronounced. Modern English spelling is a science that must be learnt and studied. The complexity of English spelling can be very discouraging to young learners who are just starting out. This is because modern English spelling has far more spelling complications and complexities compared to Shakespearean English, which had most of its words spelled exactly as they were pronounced.

To make matters worse, the two major variants of English (i.e., British and American English) also have their own unique spelling patterns, thus making the study of English orthography more difficult.

Fortunately, the book, "THE SCIENCE OF ENGLISH SPELLING" has been written to solve the above conundrum. The book has been carefully written to teach the basics and rudiments of English spelling to young learners of the language. This has been done by providing over 50 rules guiding English spelling. These rules can help young learners master the complexities and technicalities surrounding English orthography. The spelling rules discussed include the following:

•The general study of English spelling patterns •Spelling changes occasioned by the addition of prefixes and suffixes •Formation of singular verbs and plural nouns •Doubling of final letters before the addition of suffix •Dropping of letters before the addition of suffix •Addition of letters •Major differences between the British and American English spelling •And lots more

However, elementary and advanced English learners worldwide will find this book a very useful resource, either as a veritable aid in teaching English spelling or to improve their mastery of English orthography.
