"I" goes before "E" except after "C."
And "U" goes after "G"
Oh gee I can't remember,
is it "T," "B," "C," "D," "E," P," "V," or "Z,"
that goes after "G?"
Well, let's see,
you tell me.

This little ditty is just a prelude to learning how to be a better speller. I'm getting this book for my granddaughter so she can become a better speller. It is called, " Old School Ways to Remember Stuff." by Judy Parkinson. It is publisehd by Readers Digest and you can get it at most book stores. Good luck for those who want their kids or even an adult to become better spellers. It covers all types of spelling rules that most of us take for granted. By the way, while I'm on the subject of spelling, you might want to see if you can read the following sentences Ejony yuor Smemur vctaoain. Erevonye sohlud try. It was discovered by some scholar that all that is necessary to read is to know the beginning and last letter of each word. So I guess the moral of the story is, all you have to learn is to spell and the reading will come easy.

This makes me remember spelling bees in school. Some people do have a gift for spelling. While I'm not proud of the lack of studying, I can say that I got 100% on most of my spelling tests in school. Not so for geography tests, however....or math.

Our English language has so many rules and exceptions when it comes to spelling. It challenges most children as well as adults. Good article.

Sounds like an interesting book. Our kids loved to sing the old pioneer song for teaching the alphabet (they thought it was great after watching the Three Stooges sing it).
