wow, this book is so interesting. it's called frogs into princes. it's written as if you're in this seminar, and you're a therapist. you want to know how to communicate with your clients better, and to find appropriate and different solutions to their problems. ok. but, basically, they (the authors) are talking about different types of thinkers right now. there are different places your eyes point when you're accessing memories visually, auditorily, kinesthetically, whatever.
but, right here they're talking about how good spellers think. they imagine a word visually - the spelling of it. right? so, you can see the letters. then, to check if it's right, they check it kinesthetically. and if it doesn't "feel" right, they wince. it's really weird to read that. because that's what happens to me whenever i'm trying to spell something. and one reason i hate to read things with really horrid spelling or grammar. i actually experience an unpleasant feeling if there are mistakes that i can notice. but, what this book is saying, is that anyone can learn to spell well, simply by learning the process. of seeing the word, then checking if it feels right. and that way, poor spellers can learn to spell better! nifty, huh?
