Hi Karina and others,

As somebody that could not spell until I was over 40 I was shown a
method of taking a photograph of the word in my mind (no camera
required). This was a combination hypnosis/concentration method. This
reduced my spelling mistakes by 20 to 50 times.

Personally I think that repetition only leads to boredom and wasting
time.

If you do it wrong once how will doing it wrong 100 times help?

If your son is under 20 years old it may be wise to remember that not
everybody is good at every thing.

Regards

Don
