Spelling
Theres this one girl in my dorm...she CANT spell. A freshmen in college and she cant spell little words, she simply doesnt know how. The word good, she spells gud. She cant even spell little words and this concerns me. She isnt doing well in her classes at all because of this reason. Me and my roommate edit her papers and we try to tell her that she really needs to learn how to spell properly, but she doesnt care. She cant rely on me and my roommate to save her but on every paper. Should I tell her to go to a tutor (which she probally wont go), or let her fend for herself? I tried to help her learn, but I get mad at her everytime I try.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
She needs pro. tutoring..if she refuses to go then don't edit her papers...she needs to figure out how to be an adult about this and realize what she needs help in..tell her that.

Its great you're trying to help her spell. She probably has a learning disorder (no offense) for that area. I dont know dont listen to me, thats what i think. Check it out. Get her an electronic spell checker.

Here's my advice: buy her an electronic spell checker for her birthday. then she can put in the words and it will tell her how to spell them even if the word is badly spelled. I hope this helped.

Well theres not much i can really help you with there... but some ppl just can't spell. It's not their falt, but i think that there's this learning disability that includes people not being able to understand the meaning of small words so they have a hard time spelling them. But then they are great with these big words. Can she even spell bigger words like 'Individualized' or does she only have a problem with small words like 'and' 'the' stuff like that? I dono but you could try to have her get a tutor i guess...

If she's not willing to learn, then there's nothing you can do. You can't be responsible for her problems.

For christmas I would get her a spelling thing. Not just that but could help her and let her know that you are concerned. Maybe she actually has a problem with spelling. She may have dislexia.. or something like that. But you need to figure that out before anymore conclusions come about

Let her fend for herself, it's her problem. If she won't go to a tutor then you can't help her, you've done all you can.

She should see a tutor. Point out her future if she doesn't know how to spell. If she can't spell, she won't get far in life. Tell her all your trying to do is help her. Hope I helped.

Maybe this is a new place for her and shes not open with people. This girl may have a learning disability and maybe when she way young she was made fun of because of it and thats why she doesnt want to care. Try talking to her and be open discuss this issue. Let her know ur there for her as a roomate as a friend

Contintue helping her, but try not to get mad. Suggest to her about a tutor, but if she doesn't want to go, don't push it. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

I think that you should help her out. Tell her that she may feel dumb, but she's not. Comfort her and make her feel good, i think she's not going to a tutor because she doesn't want the tutor to think she's stupid, which i know the tutor wouldn't. Tell her that everyone has certain problems, and hers is a little different. Tell her that she is one of the lucky ones, she has a problem that can be solved, some people are unlucky, like people that have bad diseases that can't be cured. Help her out on weekends and help her read, if you have time. I hope i helped you out.
thankz

First of all if she is making you mad why are you giving her your help? I wouldn't help here at all unless you really like her(As a friend). If she doesn't care she must not need it.
Happy Holidays!

is really nice of you for trying to teach her. if she is getting on your nerves and expect you to help her all the time she should ask for help from someone else or atleast talk to her teachers. Some people have problems with spelling like a disorder maybe she has that. i hoped i have helped good luck!
