15 year old kid needs help with grammar and speeling!?

Question

I am 15 and about to become a sophmore in highschool. I am taking alot a honors classes especially english. But as you can see I am terrible with grammar and spelling. Is there any websites that would be able to teach me fast and effectiveley.

Please I really need help! This year I took this English Tera Nova exam or something that compares me to other students around the country. I was the 96th percentile when it came just to literture and understanding ideas and concepts, but when it was grammar and spelling I got a 48 percentile. Please help.

Answer 1

What helped me was that I started writing stories.  If you use Microsoft Word, it will tell you when there's a mistake.  The easiest thing to do is to write a lot and seriously consider the mistakes you made.  Practice the words you spell incorrectly, and soon it'll be second nature.  Basically, become what is known as a "grammar n**i" but apply it to yourself.  Just practice diligence, spell check everything (nice spell check on Yahoo Answers you can click before asking or answering a question!).  There's not really any sure way that will make you spell or write better, it's something you have to learn for yourself.  Good luck!

Answer 2

if you're in honors and you scored that well, you're obviously a smart guy...so just buckle down and study it.

it's not going to come easy or overnight, you've got to work at.  the best thing to probably do is to start reading more.  Read the news, read sports or fashion, whatever you're into.

read it and pay attention to what you're reading.
